About Bharatanatyam Classes

Why I Teach Dance

Dance has always been my way to stay grounded, even while juggling my life as a pathologist. I know how tough it is to balance passions with real-life commitments. That’s why my classes aren’t just about perfecting steps, but also about building discipline and mental strength that spills over into every part of life.

My Approach

• Start from the roots: every session kicks off with Adavu basics class to make sure the foundation is solid.
• The training is tough but rewarding. Expect to sweat, push your limits, and really work on technical precision.
• I keep things honest – it’s not always easy, but that’s how you grow, both in dance and in life.
• For me, teaching Bharatanatyam for working professionals isn’t just about the dance. It’s about helping you find your rhythm, even if you’re busy or stressed.

What We Cover

• Beginners to advanced - everyone’s welcome.
• We learn everything from simple steps to full pieces: Alarippu, Jathiswaram, Kauthuvam, Varnam, Thillana.
• A big focus on Abhinaya workshops - because feeling the dance is as important as nailing the moves.
• Classes are in-person at HSR Layout or online for folks from anywhere.

My Lineage

I’m lucky to have learnt from legends, including my Amma (mother-in-law), Acharya Smt. Indira Kadambi. My journey started over a decade ago with Guru B. Bhanumati and Smt. Sheela Chandrasekhar, and I had my arangetram under Guru Nagamani Srinivasa Rao. This background shapes everything I share in class.

If you love dance but also have a busy life, you’ll fit right in.
