Sharmila Rao Workshop
International Yoga day 2018
Sharmila Rao ist eine Bharata Natyam Tänzerin in Zürich. Sie unterrichtet und tritt seit mehr als 20 Jahren auf. Durch diese Erfahrung entwickelte sie einen neuen Ansatz, wie indisches Tanztraining noch effektiver und gesünder sein kann. Sie fügt daher dem traditionellen System des klassischen Tanzes neue funktionelle Übungen hinzu, die nicht nur den Körper stärken, sondern auch dazu beitragen, die Bewegungen im Tanz präziser und subtiler zu machen. Mit diesen innovativen Übungen will sie Verletzungen vorbeugen und gleichzeitig das Verständnis der Schüler für ihre eigene Tanzanatomie vertiefen.
Sharmila Rao is a Bharata Natyam dancer based in Zurich. She’s been teaching and performing for more than 20 years. Through that experience she developed a new approach of how Indian dance training can be more effective and healthier. She therefore adds new functional exercises to the traditional system of learning classical dance, which not only strengthen the body, but which also help to make the movements in dance more accurate and subtle. By introducing these innovative exercises she aims at preventing injuries and at the same time deepening the students understanding for his own dance anatomy.

Testimonials
The Dance Academy has an open, non-competitive, yet highly professional atmosphere. I am so grateful to have been a part of an academy that takes the dance so passionately. I wish I had found this school earlier in my childhood . Stuti has been so welcoming and she has made experience at this school for me and my kids an inspiring one. There is such a wonderful balance of disipline, fun and an extraordinary self confidence in each and every dancer during practice and performance. Stuti , I am writing to commend you on the quality of your beautiful school and your dedication to make sure the steps , the dresses , the show ..everything comes out with good quality and perfection .Vivek Nema
Stuti and I collaborated on the production Jalwa in August 2018. From start to finish, it was an amazing experience, which I shall forever cherish. Apart from Stuti's effortless and beautiful dancing, her energy, vibrancy and positive attitude made all the difference to the production and there were times when I forgot that we were working on this sitting in two different continents! The whole concept created by her was destined for success. It was an absolute privilege to work with Stuti and I hope there will be plenty of other opportunities in the future for us to entertain audiences together. I wish her every success in her future ventures!Amitabh Reu
I have probably been Stuti's most loyal student and with her from the start. I find her fountain of creativity endless, and her energy boundless. I look forward to Thursday evenings with great joy and I only hope that I can continue dancing to her choreographies for many years to come. Her love for dancing is infectious and is reflected in her entire being.Smita Kishore

"If you want to dance from the heart and not just with two feet, art has to be a state of being. It has to constantly be there around you, reflect in your behaviour, speech, action and emotion. It also has to extend beyond your life and thinking, absorb and reflect the pain and joy of others..."
