The Intangible Experience of Guidance

Dear friend,

Allowing yourself to be a true student - completely committed to a specific pursuit - is humbling, arduous , and incredibly rewarding. As lifelong students of Bharatanatyam, we are deeply committed to passing on what we have learned to the next generation.

For us, a central focus is providing guidance during this current reality. As Ragamala continues to virtually choreograph, rehearse, and engage with the community, we are also distance teaching our school of 65 students - working to maintain their progress, uphold their connection to their culture, and keep them motivated during an unprecedented time in their young lives.

Starting today until May 8, Ragamala is participating in a statewide campaign called #GiveAtHomeMN to provide the best experience for our students and continue the vital work of our teachers.

We hope you enjoy this week's offerings; until next week, please stay safe and healthy,

Ranee, Aparna, Ashwini, and the Ragamala staff

The Intangible Experience of Awe

Dear friend,

Through the experience of awe, we can find deep inspiration. Since 1983, the immeasurable awe we feel every time we see our guru, Smt. Alarmél Valli, perform and teach is what feeds our artistic purpose and imagination.

Feeling awe at what the world has to offer can be a positive way through a difficult situation - if we are able to appreciate the most beautiful aspects of nature, history, and art, we may be able to reflect upon the larger world and on our place within it.

We so enjoy the wonderful feedback you have been sending regarding this new weekly e-series, and we hope that it brings a bit of joy to your inbox. We will keep sharing stories, videos, and articles that you might find meaningful during this time.

Until next week, please stay safe and healthy,

Ranee, Aparna, Ashwini, and the Ragamala staff
