Performance Ready/Chapter 1 - Hair for Bharatanatyam

This is the first part of a three-part series on how to get ready for a Bharatanatyam performance. We started with a HOW TO on hair for Bharatanatyam because that its he best thing to start with when you are getting ready. As mentioned in the video, different teachers/gurus have their own preferences for how to get ready so please consult them first.

Here are a few general additional tips regarding the hair:
1. Best to wear a button-down shirt while getting ready so you don't mess up your dance blouse and you won't have to disturb your hair and make-up later.
2. It's a good idea to wear your choker first for the same reason as #1
2. Greasy hair is good (for a change) when doing hair for a performance. It tends listen more :)
3. Use plenty of hair gel and hair spray to keep the hair neat and clean.

Good luck and feel free to ask us questions! [email protected]
