Hi there. It's wonderful that you've taken up Bharata Natyam. It's such a beautiful artform--I have been studying it for many years and just love it. As for a translation of "Angikam" are you talking about the Shiva Prayer? If so, here is a translation of it:
Angikam bhuvanam yasya
Vachicam sarva vangmayam
Aharyam chandra taradi
tam vande satvikam shivam.

The meaning of the above shloka:

We bow to Him the benevolent One
Whose limbs are the world,
Whose song and poetry are the essence of all language,
Whose costume is the moon and the stars...
Hope this helps. As far as some good dance information websites- There is an article called Bharata Natyam that's been around a somewebsites. You can go to

Good Luck with your studies. Happy Dancing.
Rachel
