My Story
We’re Butterfly Talent Academy, BTA if you want it short. Been here in Banaswadi since 2009, watching kids go from shy to stage stars. We call ourselves Butterfly because, honestly, talent needs space to grow, right? We started out wanting a spot where you could learn Bharatanatyam and then jam on a guitar, all in one day. Our big thing? 'Jalsa'—every student gets their moment on stage. Feels more like family than an academy.
My Work
Classes for All Kinds of Talent - We teach Hindustani vocal, Western guitar lessons, violin, drums, Bharatanatyam for beginners, Kathak, painting, pottery, taekwondo, and chess.
Global Certification - You can earn a Trinity College music certification with us—makes your skills official, looks great for future plans.
From Basics to Stage - Doesn’t matter if you’re new or skilled, we guide you from first steps to kids stage performance Bangalore.
Perform, Don’t Just Learn - We push for stage time. With our events, like 'Jalsa', students get used to the spotlight and build real confidence.
