This is the culmination of sadhana. My student, Meera Sreenarayanan, in a powerful moment from her "Danike" Varnam performance. Seeing my students command the stage with such energy and grace is the greatest reward of being a Guru.
The Guru-Shishya relationship is more than just teaching steps. It is about nurturing an artist. Here I am sharing a quiet moment with my dear student Ambili Krishnan before her performance, a bond that goes beyond the classroom.
This is me, lost in the art. A moment of complete surrender during a performance of "Bhakt Jana Vatsale." For me, dance is a conversation with the divine, and I strive to impart this sense of devotion to all my students.
Art must also serve the community. Through the Ambalam Foundation, we bring music and dance education to children in rural schools, like this session at Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya. It is our responsibility to share our cultural heritage with the next generation.
It is always humbling to see our work recognized. This wonderful review in the newspaper for our "Vaggeyakara Bharatham" performance was a proud moment for me and my students. It validates the hard work and dedication we pour into every production.

About Indian Classical Arts Training

Why I Teach Bharatanatyam

For me, Bharatanatyam is like breathing - it’s not just steps, it’s a way to feel rooted. I don’t do quick-fix hobby classes. This is sadhana, lifelong learning, and connection to our culture. I stick to the Guru-Shishya training method, so classes are personal, intense, and honest. If you want something deep, not just surface level, you’ll fit right in.

How Training Happens Here

Every session starts with Adavu techniques. No shortcuts, no skipping basics. That’s how neat, powerful dancers are made. Once your base is strong, we move into the Margam curriculum: from Alarippu to Thillana, you’ll learn the whole traditional sequence. Padam, Javali, devotional pieces - all covered.

Expression matters as much as technique. A lot of time goes into Abhinaya, learning to show emotions and tell stories through dance. Plus, the music side isn’t ignored - my husband, Ramprasad, brings Carnatic vocal expertise so you develop a real ear for rhythm and melody.

For Serious Learners

If you’re ready for Arangetram preparation or want to go pro, I mentor you like an Akka. You’ll get stage experience, learn Nattuvangam, and understand how live productions work. Not always easy, but the growth is huge.

Who’s Welcome

Kids, adults, folks returning after a long break, advanced dancers - you’ll find a place here if you’re sincere. I want my students to become artists who know where they come from and carry it with pride.

My Story

I’m Indira. Dance is woven into every bit of my life—family, home, even the air at Ambalam. My husband sings, my kids play and do Nattuvangam, we all create together. Sometimes the universe just surprises you, like the day a giant Nataraja statue landed at my door—no warning, just magic. When I’m not dancing, you’ll find me hiking with students or watching lions in Kenya. Art, nature, family—they’re all one for me.

My Work

Bharatanatyam & More at Ambalam - I perform solo and with my family ensemble, choreograph new works, and guide students. We also teach Carnatic music and Yoga.

Guru & Mentor - I take my role as Acharya seriously. Watching my students grow as dancers is my biggest joy.

Family Ensemble - Performing with my husband, son, daughter-in-law, and senior disciples—our Ambalam Ensemble creates conceptual dance choreography.

For Rasikas - Audience presence is precious. Let’s keep the vibe pure—save the claps for the end, enjoy the journey.
