I just need time! I used to take lessons and miss them a lot!
How to learn Bharata Natyam
How I did it: I studied for 9 years and counting. I took classes every week in the evening, with hiatuses when my teacher when on tour or on travel to India. I practice 3-5 times a week and make lots of notes in a dance journal.
These days, when my teacher travels, I teach others to keep in shape.
Lessons & tips: This is a lifestyle change, not a short term goal. Dance lessons will quickly escape if you take time off, and this is one of the most complex dance forms in the world.
If you really want to learn, prepare to change your life in the long term to accomplish the goal.
If you just want a sample, take a workshop to see if you like it. Understand that you are only getting a brief glimpse - this dance has depth, and some things only make sense after a couple (or more) years of study.
