I found this very effective when given the fact that I am over 40 , have started dancing after a gap of a few years and cannot practice regularly due to a grueling work schedule. Thanks.
You're literally doing God's work. Being a full-time student with a large focus on co-curricular activities like Bharatnatyam leaves me with little to no energy. Your videos help me to improve my movement a lot.
the best thing happened to me... feel relived of pain ...i am going to as a routine whether i practice bharatnatyam or no... i just started 2 months back after a 20 yr gap ... after starting i was beginning to realise how my body was not ready to take it... i was going to give it up....but after doing ur workout i really feel energized ...thanks a lot...

Yes. You are right. Dipping our feet in warm water with salt gives lot of relief for the body. It's also proved that it also takes out negative energy from our body and mind. 👍👍
My 5 favorite exercises were ..... 1. Jumping Jacks 2. Squat to front fold 3. Butt Kicks 4. Leg Swings 5. Muzhumandi Jumps Thank you so much For this Warm up Routine !!!
Didi, your warm up videos are really very effective. Even though I can't do exactly like you, But I'm still trying, I will never give up. I am very hopeful that in your routine follow-up I will be able to overcome my problems and dance well. Lot of love and respect for you Didi.
Thank you very much, im a bharatnatyam dancer aswell and sometimes i felt like i couldn't hold aramandi or do adavus. Your video helped me to improve my dance and to dance without pain, thank u ❤
Heyy thank u so much for this video and most importantly for the tip!!! My go to exercises before my dance practice are- Leg swings Ankle rotation Alternate toe touches
Thank you dear for this routine exercise. I was looking for this exercise before dance as I am 50 yrs old and its very necessary for me to do before Bharatnatyam dance practice. You are helping to fulfil my dream. Thank you.
Thank you this really effective video, since you are included the counts in the video, I could exercise along with you. I feel so happy. ❤❤❤keep rocking dear Prathibha 😍
Thanks for your excellent effort in improving dance routines be it an effective warm up or specific exercises to avoid injuries while dancing. Definitely very helpful!
Wonderful exercises Pratibha. Your videos cover exercises easy to do for all kinds of people from absolute beginners to advanced dancers. Nice of you to make these videos. This time my wife joined me in trying out some exercises she could do. You say warmup for dancing, but I say stretching exercises for everybody. My wife said you can kick your own butts, I need not do it hereafter 😝. But alas, my legs could not touch the buttocks. Anyways with practice I think they will soon. I always used to do Jumping jacks from childhood. Our school PT Somappa mastru made us do some similar ones which I continue even now off and on. Stepping burpees are a full body exercise which may be different for beginners, but I could do justice. Legs don't swing as much as yours do, but we did as much as we could, Hip opener with ankle rotation needs some balancing act, but I did it too. Squat to front fold can be done by us, but my leg would remain little bent 😝. Alternate Toe Touches is one more exercise taught by Sompa mastru which I have been doing regularly. I could not swing as much as you on the Active frog swing, but hey, I did it too. Ha ha... you made me dance in Muzhumandi jump... I am slowly getting into dance mode. Lunge with hip raise is nice. I am adding variety to my normal exercise routine by replacing some of them with what are shown by you. Keep them coming. All the best
Hahha! The butt kicks - That was damn funny! That is amazing.. Lovely that she also joined you this time.. Glad these exercises are making their way into your routine :) Awesome spirit, as always :) Ty for all the lovely wishes!
What an in depth study and involvement. Hats off to you for your involvement. If the young dancers show half the interest that you have shown, they will definitely become good dancers and achieve their goal. !!!
Thank you so much for your nice videos always!! You cheer us up in a very kind way:) I like all the videos. I'm a Bharatanatyam dancer from Japan:):) I will do this before starting dancing!! Thanks a lot!!
@@alankritaraman7448 I cannot claim that I know the style.. But, my teacher was trained under many gurus who practised different Banis. So you will see an amalgamation of different Banis in my dancing. But predominantly it's Kalakshetra :)
I am 42. I stopped dance long ago. I wanted to start again. Ur video excited me. But unfortunately my knee pains what should I do ? Does this warmup works for knee too ? I feel shivering in my knees. I am taking my words back. I am editing this message. The morning when I woke up to my surprise I neither had knee pain nor leg.. I felt strong legs. ❤
Hello! Thanks for letting me know.. Keep at it. Warming up muscles before dancing is very important and it does eliminate cramps/pain/soreness to some extent. Regular exercise helps with strength and alleviates pain when done the right way!
Hai mam Your videos are really helpful, I always wanted a tutorial that would be beneficial for all dancers🥰glad that I finally found the right channel.😊 Could u please upload a video how to do these exercises without bending the knees much.is there any particular excercise that helps.
Thanks! All the exercises in this video involve knees. Neither can we squat nor dance without bending knees :) If you are looking for exercises which do not involve knees, you could try calf raises, deadlifts, single leg deadlifts, Ankle rotation, seated leg rotations :) Hope this helps.
Can u please add up a routine for warm up n workouts for leg strengthening , for core , for flexibility , for balancing etc. Like should I do these all before dance practice or do some of the above workouts at specific days and the rest of the exercises regularly ...?
Kindly check the playlist "A video sequence guide" th-cam.com/video/ph2agl0Rii8/w-d-xo.html and read the description of the playlist for better idea to plan your workout :) Hope it helps.
Hi Pratibha Mam.. This is Anusha... Since I started dancing after quite a time, while practicing the Namaskaram, especially when we sit and touch the ground, I struggle to get back up. Wanted to know is there any exercise which helps in getting back to flexibility ??
Flexibility and Strength are 2 different things. If you are unable to stand up from muzhumandi, work on strengthening your legs and if you are unable to sit in muzhumandi, work on your hip flexibility. I have already made videos for both. You could check them out.
I found this very effective when given the fact that I am over 40 , have started dancing after a gap of a few years and cannot practice regularly due to a grueling work schedule. Thanks.

Hi this warm can be done everyday?
You could perform warm up exercises before you perform any physical activity.. Be it dancing/workout. In short, yes, you could perform them everyday.
