At Abhibhava Art Academy, I treat every student like family - whether you’re a total newbie or already know your way around the stage. I’m strict about technique because, honestly, *ek galat aadat body mein ghus gayi toh nikalna mushkil hai* (if a wrong habit enters the body, it’s tough to remove). So, expect me to correct your posture and lines every single time. ### What We Offer - Main focus on Bharatanatyam, but you can also learn Kathak, Mohiniyattam, Mayurbhanj Chhau (workshops), Indian Folk & Garba, and Semi-Classical. - Classes for all ages and skill levels - from tiny tots to adults, beginners to advanced. - Both online and in-person sessions at our Mumbai studios. ### How We Train - Deep dive into basics: Aramandi (half-seating posture), Adavus (basic steps), Mudras & Abhinaya (hand gestures and expressions). - Hands-on correction for posture, alignment, and geometrical lines. - Warm-ups and conditioning to build strength and flexibility. - Choreography training - from Pushpanjali to Varnams, all crafted by our gurus. ### Beyond Classes - We push you to perform on stage, not just practice in the studio. Our students have won awards at national festivals - *bas dil khush ho jaata hai* (my heart feels happy). - If you want formal recognition, we offer Indian classical dance certification through Akhil Bhartiya Gandharva University. If you’re ready to dance, I’m ready to teach. ## Highlights Browse through Abhibhava Art Academy's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/abhibhavaartacademy/indian-dance-training/featured) - ![A powerful moment of synchronicity and grace from our "Shivashtakam" production.

Jisha, me, and our guru team, we all just love being with our students - from tiny kids to seniors. When they win on stage, bas, dil khush ho jaata hai (heart feels so happy). This place is more family than class, and we celebrate Indian dance together. ### My work - **Dance Styles We Teach**: We run offline classes in Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Mohiniyattam, Kuchipudi, Mayurbhanj Chhau, Semi-Classical, Indian Folk, and Garba for all ages. - **How We Teach**: Technique is everything here. Aramandi mat kharab karo! (Don’t spoil your posture!) We stress on correct basics and practice. - **Batches for All Levels**: Never danced? No tension. We have beginner, advanced, kids, weekends, and evening batches for everyone. - **Get Certified**: Our courses are structured and students can get certified with exams from Akhil Bhartiya Gandharva University. ## Experts similar to Abhibhava Art Academy on mytribe - [Kathak Classes & Workshops by Garvita Sharma](https://mytribe.in/garvita.kathak/kathak-classes-workshops) · ₹500-1,500 per class/workshop (1-1.5 hours) (estimate) · Acacia Studio - [Dance Classes and Workshops by Tarang Studio](https://mytribe.in/tarangstudio/dance-classes-and-workshops) · ₹3,200-5,000 per 8-session batch (estimate) · Tarang Studio- dance classes in Bandra - [Dance Classes & Workshops by Nidhi Jimulia](https://mytribe.in/nidhijimulia/dance-classes-workshops) · ₹2,500-4,000 per person per month (estimate) · Youthellennium Dance Academy - [Dance Classes by Dance & Fitness Stream](https://mytribe.in/dance_and_fitness_stream/dance-classes) · ₹1,200-3,000 per person per month (estimate) · Aco Studios - [Dance Classes & Workshops by Apurva Undalkar](https://mytribe.in/apurva_undalkar/dance-classes-workshops) · ₹350-800 per session (estimate) · Avighnaa The Creative Hub - [Flamenco Dance Classes & Workshops by Shehzeen Cassum](https://mytribe.in/shehzeen.cassum/flamenco-dance-classes-workshops) · ₹400-1,200 per hour per student (estimate) · 108 Dance Studio - [Kathak Classes by Pooja Pant](https://mytribe.in/pooja_pant_kathak/kathak-classes) · ₹1,200-5,000 per month (group class) (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Dance Classes & Workshops by Urmilla Thakkar](https://mytribe.in/urmilla_thakkar_choreography/dance-classes-workshops) · ₹2,000-4,000 per month (8 sessions) (estimate) · Tarang Studio- dance classes in Bandra - [Kathak Dance Classes by Eshani Sathe](https://mytribe.in/eshanisathe.kathak/kathak-dance-classes) · ₹1,000-3,000 per student per month (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Bharatanatyam Classes & Workshops by Divya Srikanth](https://mytribe.in/divya_takatarikitatom/bharatanatyam-classes-workshops) · ₹800-2,500 per session (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Dance Classes by Dhruvi Shah](https://mytribe.in/dsd_choreography/dance-classes) · ₹400-2,500 per session (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area ## Book To book Abhibhava Art Academy, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Indian%20Dance%20Training%20by%20Abhibhava%20Art%20Academy.)
