I'm glad that we have two gurus now for bharatanatyam. Our new guru, Ravali, is also really good, and I hope I can learn something new. I'm enjoying learning the new steps but get easily frustrated because my hand and foot coordination is terrible. I keep stumbling or forget to change the positions of hands when we move a certain direction. But I feel that if I practice some more...I can get it down. I also am trying to figure out if there is another way of stomping my feet without really hurting them-so far I haven't really found a technique and don't think there's really anything I can do about it but its ok, I'll get used to it eventually.

I am beginning to create a strong liking and appreciation to bharatanatyam-its a lot harder than I thought it was. I've had some friends in highschool perform it but I never really understood how hard it was until recently-and all I can say is it took a lot of hardwork and dedication.

I'm hoping that this week I can improve the steps from last week-while learning the new ones. I'm starting to remember the names of the mudras which is neat because I never knew them really at the start.

Well heres to the new week...and new lessons
