Two women stand facing each other in a room with tiled flooring. The woman on the left wears a grey patterned tunic with light trousers and gestures with her hands while speaking. The woman on the right wears a blue tunic and trousers, with her back mostly turned, and has her hands placed behind her back. Behind them is a teal armchair beside a small table with a plant, and a staircase with wooden railings is visible on the right side of the room. A framed picture hangs on the wall above a decorative vine, and a doorway leads to another area.

പ്രവർത്തനം

Only one student attended today’s class for children with hearing difficulties, as the others were unwell. I gave her individual attention and revised Nattadavu 1, 2 and 3 from the previous class.

Today, I began creating my own hand gestures for dance terms and positions such as aramandi (half-sitting), samam (standing) and muzhu mandi (full-sitting). These gestures were not already part of our teaching method; I developed and introduced them to make dance instructions more accessible for my these students. Instead of relying on spoken reminders, I showed the student each gesture and explained the position it represented. She understood the gestures and responded by moving into the corresponding positions.

For the last 15 minutes, she joined the other children’s batch to practise the Adavus. I stood near her and gave visual cues as she tried to follow along and dance with the group.

ഫലം

The student responded to the newly created gestures by moving into the positions they represented. When she joined the other batch, she tried to follow the visual cues and practise alongside the children. This showed that the gestures helped her understand the instructions and take part in the class.
