<p><strong>Bharat Verma Body Percussionist</strong><br />&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />Available for: Body Percussion and dance &nbsp;<br />Charges: Rs 35,000 for six months<br />EMAIL AT: heartbeators@gmail.com<br />Call: 9829777201</p>
<p>Bharat Verma, India&rsquo;s first body percussionist, has been honing the craft for 11 years. He considers body percussion as an art to produce rhythm from the body in the form of a dance. Verma who is also &nbsp;trained in Konnakol(art of reciting carnatic percussion syllables)tries to blend it with his craft. He learnt this lesser known art of body percussion from US-based organisation, The Vanaver Caravan and has incorporated his own techniques into it. His process involves creating rhythm from the body which is accompanied by music if required. Once the sound and hand moments are set, he moves to the choreography of the dance. Verma has worked with the likes of AR Rahman, Adnan Sami on live shows, Farhan Akhtar, and others on &nbsp;independent projects.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>RECOMMENDED BY:</strong> Harshini Thakur from Udaipur says, &ldquo;I have been training under Bharat sir for two years now and we learn something new every day. I really enjoy the whole process and can create music using my body and different props such as a bamboo stick, sheet of paper, etc.&rdquo;</p><p>
