Give ‘nimble fingers’ a new meaning as you easily master mudras (hand gestures) used in Indian classical and Bollywood dance! Set against the stunning backdrop of the spiritually potent Joshua Tree desert, the app includes Sanskrit audio and gesture meanings in 7 languages.. So, stretch your fingers and learn something new. Available in English, Czech, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Russian.

This is a collection of 28 asamyukta hasta mudras (single hand gestures) from the Indian classical dance of Bharatanatyam.

The use of fingers and hands to communicate meaning, tell stories, and create delicate shapes is crucial to Indian dance. It is what makes the poetry of Indian Dance so unique and exquisite.

Founded by Sangita Shresthova, Bollynatyam® takes a historically and culturally sensitive approach to contemporary Indian and South Asian dance. Our teaching and choreography draws on classical Indian dance (Bharatanatyam), martial arts, contemporary movement, and Bollywood dance.
