About Kuchipudi Workshops & Coaching
Sharing dance is like sharing a piece of my life. For me, Kuchipudi isn’t just about nailing the steps - it’s about feeling every bit of music, poetry, and movement, and letting it shape how we think and connect.
What My Classes Are Like
- I don’t stick to weekly schedules since I also perform, but I love working with students through focused workshops and personal sessions.
- My teaching goes beyond routines - we dive into what makes Kuchipudi a living art form, not just a dance.
- Aamar mone hoy (I feel) dance is about the journey as much as the end result. I want students to be okay with not knowing all the answers and to sit with the doubt till something new shows up.
Ways We Can Learn
- Vempati Chinna Satyam style training: Workshops for all levels, building basics, working on
jatisand technique. - Abhinaya masterclass: We break down poems by Meera Bai, Annamacharya, Tagore, and more, finding the emotion and translating poetry into movement.
- Personalized Kuchipudi coaching: One-on-one sessions for those who want to refine their dance, prepare for a show, or dig deeper into their own ideas.
- Interactive lecture-demos for schools and colleges, sharing Kuchipudi’s roots and how it’s grown.
Why This Matters to Me
My roots are with Guru Anuradha Nehru and the legendary Guru Vempati Chinna Satyam. Everything I teach is grounded in their wisdom and my own search for meaning through dance. Asha kori apnara shob ashben (hope you’ll join in) and we’ll share some real stories together.

My Story
I'm Amrita, dancer, mom, storyteller. My journey’s tangled up with Shlok—my late husband—who cheered me on, even in those sticky, no-AC Chennai basements. He’d get his hands on the mridangam, grinning away, filling our home with music and laughter. After he passed, art became my anchor. Now, every time I dance, it’s for my boys, for him, and for anyone who needs a bit of that magic.
My Work
Kuchipudi Performances & Workshops - I do solo and group Kuchipudi shows for events, plus run Kuchipudi dance workshops for anyone curious.
Collaborative Productions - Love mixing things up—like my 'Call of the Flute' that blends Kuchipudi, Pichwai painting, and live flute.
Storytelling through Dance - I tell stories, from Krishna’s leelas to Rabindra Sangeet, making each performance about feeling and connection.
Teaching & Process - It’s all in the details. I enjoy sweating the small stuff, sharing that with students, and finding joy in the practice.
