Intensive Bharatanatyam Workshops and Dance Masterclasses
I travel across India and abroad to conduct deep-dive sessions focusing on technique, stamina, and the soul of Bharatanatyam. Join me to refine your art, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned dancer.
Leading a workshop in Holland was an enriching experience. It's wonderful to see the dedication to our classical art forms so far from home. We covered a full composition, focusing on both technique and stamina.

About Global Workshops & Dance Intensives
When I lead these workshops, we aren't just reciting steps. We spend hours on alignment, the physics of a perfect Araimandi, and the Abhinaya that gives movement its meaning. I believe in a flipped classroom model where you access video modules beforehand, so when we meet in person—whether in Bangalore, Pune, or abroad—we can skip the basics and go straight into refining your precision and stamina.
Dance is a journey of constant, honest learning. My workshops are designed for dancers who have moved past the initial 'how-to' phase and are now asking 'why' and 'how much further.'
Whether it's a 2-day high-intensity bootcamp in Pune or a residential session in Chikhale, the structure remains consistent: we dissect the geometry of movement. We focus heavily on Nritta precision—ensuring your Adavus are crisp, your Talam is sharp, and your body conditioning is robust enough to handle demanding Margams.
But technique is only half the story. The other half is Abhinaya. I encourage students to explore the emotional landscape of each piece, moving beyond just 'performing' to actually embodying the character. As I often say, chennagi nodi—it’s always about seeing and understanding the art more deeply.
If you are joining me for an intensive, come prepared to work. We cover:
- Body Alignment: Correcting posture to create cleaner, more aesthetic lines.
- Stamina Building: Techniques to sustain energy through long, complex performances.
- Abhinaya Exploration: Developing depth in your storytelling and expressive movements.
- Collaboration: Understanding how to sync with live musicians, whether it's a vocalist or a mridangam player.
My goal is to leave you with not just a new set of moves, but a refined perspective on your own daily practice.
