About Bharatanatyam Performances for Events
What We Bring
When we show up at your event, it's not just a dance show. It’s a slice of tradition, crafted with heart. Every step and gesture from our dancers is about bringing stories alive, not just filling the stage.
Types of Performances
- Grand ensemble acts - imagine up to 120 dancers moving together, perfect for big gatherings.
- Full-scale dance dramas - like "KRISHNA - Love, Compassion and Protection" or "Shrishti Stithi Laya" if you want a classical dance drama for festivals.
- Natya Seva - for temple dance performances at religious functions, from Navaratri to Sri Rama Navami.
- Intimate solo or duet shows - for when you want something more focused.
Why Our Shows Stand Out
- Every piece is choreographed and led by me, so there’s a personal touch in everything.
- For major events, we can bring a live orchestra for Bharatanatyam events (mridangam, vocals, violin, flute - the works).
- Costumes are bright and authentic, temple jewellery, and we pay attention to lighting.
Roots & Repertoire
- We tell stories from Indian mythology - Krishna leelas, Shiva Tandava, Nava Durga, and more.
- You’ll see both young kids and seasoned artists on stage. They’ve all put in years of sadhana (hard practice) and it shows.
If you’re looking for a customised Bharatanatyam show for corporate events or sacred gatherings, we probably have just the thing.

My Story
Hey, I’m Nayana and Natesha Nrithyalaya is my second home. Started this school in 2016 just wanting to teach dance from the heart, not just the feet. Now, we’re like a big family with 400+ students, tiny tots to teens, all growing together. Our annual day, Nrithya Milanam, and big productions like Krishna keep us buzzing. Taking our Natya Seva to places like Udupi and Chidambaram temples? That’s pure magic. Couldn’t do it without our crazy hardworking kids and the art-loving folks around us.
My Work
Bharatanatyam & Carnatic Vocal Classes - We teach Bharatanatyam for kids and adults, plus Carnatic vocal classes for anyone keen.
Thematic Dance Productions - We create big dance dramas like Krishna, mixing story, emotion, and tradition.
Performances & Natya Seva - Our groups perform at holy places and festivals, bringing classical dance to life.
Open To All Learners - If you love dance and can commit, you’re welcome. Beginners, pros, little ones, all find a place.
