A comprehensive toolkit of techniques and practices designed to build a connection between the
unconscious, the conscious mind, and the Self.
Rooted in the ancient traditions of
Indian movement arts and
street dance culture, these skillful yet minimalistic practices focus on
activating the hands — reinterpreted through the lens of modern human needs.
Through a sequence of short, intentional lessons, you’ll have the opportunity to
refine and expand your personal movement language, learning to embody archetypes, communicate through symbolic gestures, and deliver clear, non-verbal messages to the world around you.
This course offers
deeply authentic material, marked by the unique signature of
Kristy Nataraja, where the symbol becomes a
universal code — one that integrates the mental and physical aspects of our nature into a union of conscious, embodied self-expression through dance and movement.
- The course is divided into two parts: Exploring the anatomy of the hand joints, creating articulated animation through the lens of street dance movement.
- Delving into the wisdom of symbolism and Indian hasta (hand gestures).
It’s a
therapeutic process, where words help the mind decode the meaning behind movement — leading to deeper self-awareness, integration, and personal revelation.
By working with your hands:
—
Activate the heart chakra, tuning into its voice and weaving a creative connection between heart and hands. This initiates a process of emotional self-discovery and strengthens your spiritual bond with your life's work.
— Refine
fine motor skills, awakening fresh neural impulses and promoting
mental clarity. Symmetrical movement practice helps balance the nervous system, naturally enhancing your overall quality of life.
— Develop
concentration and subtlety of perception, training your mind to remain present and discerning. This fosters wise action aligned with your purpose and deeper goals.
— Establish more
meaningful, sincere contact with others, expressing yourself more vividly through refined, intentional gesture. As a result,
spiritual and business intelligence begin to align — granting you a richer, more integrated way of impacting the world around you.

Professional dancers will benefit from gaining the precision of a jeweler, with clear pathways toward creating graceful postures, refined transitions, and articulated gesture. The course offers tools to make your dance
speak, your movements more
elegant, and your characters more
believable and
alive.
