Thattumettu Adavus are rhythmically challenging Adavus. There are 5 main variations in Thattumettadavu – Thisra, Chathurashra, Khanda, Mishra and Sankeerna and their combinations. The hand positions are very simple and elegant. The students learn to sing all variations of Thattumettadavu in 3 different speeds set to a particular rhythmical pattern (Thala). Students are given a fitness guide explaining the Yogic postures relevant to the footwork. Then, the students learn the footwork under Footwork analysis section. Later, they will go through the body movement analysis and learn to co-ordinate the Hand gestures (Hastha Mudhra), Hands, Eyes, Head, Neck and Torso movements for each of the footwork. When once they learn the Adavu in its entirety, they practice it in different speeds. Audio downloads are provided to help the students in their practice.

Students are provided with high quality Step by Step learning videos by watching which they learn the lessons and present the same during one on one online class with the instructors to enhance their learning.

The course duration is for 4 weeks with 4 sessions with the teacher. If students wish to extend the course duration, they can do it by paying a minimal fee. They could write to admin@eambalam.com for more details.
