About Sanam
I teach Tiny Thalams as a small, careful Bharatanatyam room for children in Kochi: serious about the art, gentle with the child, and patient enough for confidence to arrive in its own time.
My verified training details will be added here before launch. I do not want this page to claim a Guru, Bani, Arangetram year or performance history until every detail has been checked and written plainly.
In class, I care about posture, rhythm, attention and kindness. Children practise discipline, but they should never feel afraid of making a mistake while they are learning something this demanding.
My hope is that each student leaves class with more than steps: a steadier body, a sharper ear for taalam, and a quiet pride in belonging to a classical art form.
Bani to confirm
In Bharatanatyam, a Bani is the lineage or school of training: the way a Guru passes down posture, rhythm, repertoire and expressive detail. Kochi parents often ask about it first because it tells them whether a teacher has learned inside a serious tradition.
Sanam's exact lineage will be named here after confirmation. Until then, Tiny Thalams keeps the explanation general rather than claiming a Kalakshetra, Pandanallur, Vazhuvoor or other specific style without her approval.

What a class looks like
A typical Foundations class begins with a quiet warm-up, then moves intoAdavu practice and Aramandi alignment before Sanam introduces one small piece of new material. The final few minutes are reserved for cooling down, clapping Taalam, or naming a Mudra so the child leaves with rhythm in the body and language for what she has learned.
