Workshop for intermediate level students of carnatic music and dance.
A tala/talam forms the metrical structure that repeats, in a cyclical harmony, from the start to end of any particular song or dance segment. This makes it imperative that tala basics are rooted well and early on in the learning journey. Talas have certain qualitative features, which becomes very important for any classical dancer/musician in his or her artistic journey.
