In class today, I felt very comfortable discussing our goals and our perspectives of the course thus far. I thought being outside was a positive change in environment and the dancing felt more contextualized. I am enjoying learning Bharatanatyam because it seems like a very disciplined dance that can be employed as a communication mechanism.
On a different note, after reading about the social system of Bali and Banjar, it seems like there are parallels between the Balinese system and our class; each individual in our class, as we learned today, has a goal he or she strives to achieve, but there is also a feeling of community, empowering each student to strive to reach a common goal and allowing us as students to be comfortable with one another.
I’m looking forward to next class to learn more Bharatanatyam and am interested to learn more about the Balinese system.
