Hi! I am learning Bharatanatyam in the Vazhavoor style right now,but learnt the basics in Kalakshetra style.I have forgotten the order myself & would love to know the order as well as the number of adavus in each set.....for example:8 tattadavus,8 nattadavus,etc.Also,I would like to know if there are any books available about Bharatanatyam theory;specially the different hand gestures of the individual mudras of Asamyutha & Samyutha Hasthas.For example:Pataka Hastha Viniyogaha,Tripataka Hastha Viniyogaha.

Thanks!
