Copper Belt | Margam - Hip Belt

A: Select a Copper Belt Margam that sits comfortably at your natural waist or slightly below, allowing for free movement in Aramandi and other seated positions. Measure your waist circumference accurately, and refer to our size chart, keeping in mind that the belt should not restrict your breath or dig into your skin during extended performances.

A: The Copper Belt Margam provides subtle but crucial support to maintain an upright torso and engaged core, which is essential for the demanding footwork and expressive gestures in Kuchipudi. It helps in distributing weight evenly and prevents slouching, thereby enhancing stamina and precision in your movements.

A: While designed primarily for Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi, the Copper Belt Margam's adjustable features allow it to be adapted for other Indian classical dance forms like Mohiniyattam or Odissi. The key is to ensure it supports the lower back without impeding the specific torso movements and flexibility required by each style. Consult with your dance guru for personalized fitting advice.

A: To maintain your Copper Belt Margam, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat and oils. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized copper cleaner sparingly, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. Store the belt in a dry, cool place, ideally in a cloth bag, to prevent tarnishing and protect it from scratches.
