ESTIMATESAbout Dance Education & Training
I’ve been dancing and teaching for as long as I can remember. For me, Bharatanatyam isn’t just movement - it’s a way of living, a tradition I learnt from my own guru, Smt. Rukmini Devi Arundale at Kalakshetra. Everything I teach, I try to pass on with the same care and discipline she gave me.
How I Teach
My classes follow the Guru-Shishya Parampara style - which means I see learning as a personal connection, not just instruction. Whether you’re stepping into the world of dance for the first time or brushing up for a stage show, I focus on building a strong foundation. We always start with Bharatanatyam basics for beginners - posture, Adavus, rhythm. I’m strict about technique but equally keen that you enjoy the art.
Who Can Join
- Kids, adults, and even seniors - you’ll find classmates of all ages here.
- No one’s too new or too experienced. Absolute beginners sit beside seasoned dancers prepping for big recitals.
What to Expect
- We cover Mudras and Adavus tutorial, group rehearsals, and dance theory classes to understand not just how, but why we move.
- Sometimes, I run quick workshops or fusion sessions, and I also give talks at universities and art forums.
- If you like, I’ve got books and videos to help you practice at home.
Learning dance is a journey, and I’m here to guide every step.
