Cover basic body positions, hand gestures, alignment.
Still a challenging class, this one is great for all students of all levels as it hunkers down on technique and injury prevention. If you want to be a great dancer, don't skip this one even if you have been learning for years.

I don't really remember adavus but learned for a long time
Take: Adavus 1
We will cover basic slokams, build and learn adavus and build stamina/strength/flexibility at a slower pace. You will still cover smaller items here so will still challenge you even if you have learned adavus in a prior setting.
