Adavu
"Adavu" is a term in classical Indian dance, particularly in Bharatanatyam. It refers to the basic movements and steps that form the foundation of the dance vocabulary. Adavus include various rhythmic patterns, hand gestures (mudras), and postures. They are learned systematically as part of dance training and serve as building blocks for more complex choreography. Adavus contribute to a dancer's technical proficiency, expressive abilities, and overall performance in Bharatanatyam.
