Classical Dance Classes for Kids and Adults
We welcome dancers of all ages and backgrounds to our Bangalore studios. Experience the rhythm, discipline, and joy of Kathak and Bharathanatyam in a supportive, traditional environment.
Find your rhythm with us. Admissions are open for our Bharathanatyam classes for children and adults, offering a path to physical, emotional, and spiritual well being.
It is never too late to start dancing. Hear from our students and faculty about how our classes for working professionals and adults provide a space for joy, awareness, and personal growth.
Dance is a journey of diving deeper into the self. Our senior faculty member, Rohini Prabhath, shares her 25 year journey with Abhinava and the pride we take in carrying our Gurus' legacy forward.

Our youngest students begin their journey with a foundation in culture and wellness. Watch our adorable tiny tots offering prayers to Sage Patanjali on International Yoga Day.
Dance can be a beautiful shared passion for families. Here, our talented brother and sister students, Ojas and Ishta, perform the devotional 'Tamburi Meetidava' in Bharathanatyam.
We strive to instill noble thoughts and a sense of unity through art. Here, our beautiful students chant a Sanskrit mantra from the Upanishads about the sacred bond between teacher and student.
Learning flows from many sources, like streams joining an ocean. I share an inspiring Kannada verse by the poet Somanatha that beautifully captures our philosophy of holistic learning.
To excel in art, you must set your own high standards. In this talk, Dr. Arathi shares insights on the importance of dedicated practice, drawing inspiration from legends like M.S. Subbalakshmi.
Sharing our art is a way of giving back. We were privileged to spend precious moments with children from the Sukanksha Charitable Trust, sharing the joy of dance and celebrating Mother's Day together.
About Join Our Dance Family: Classes for All
Learning here is more than just footwork. Our studios in Basavanagudi and Rajajinagar are built with professional wooden sprung floors to ensure your joints are protected, allowing you to focus entirely on your movement. Whether you are a beginner looking to find your rhythm or a working professional seeking a creative outlet, you receive personal attention within our traditional, inclusive training environment.
We approach dance as a holistic journey rather than a series of steps. Our curriculum spans Kathak, Bharathanatyam, and Bharathanrithyam, designed to help you connect with your inner self. Following the Guru-Shishya Parampara, we limit our batch sizes to ensure each student receives the guidance they need to progress at their own pace.
Our classes are structured to fit into modern lives without losing the sanctity of tradition. We offer weekend morning sessions for working professionals and weekday evening batches for children. Each month, you attend eight focused, sixty-minute sessions that cover foundational techniques, complex footwork, and the art of storytelling through dance.
Beyond the physical practice, we emphasize the philosophy of 'Rasa'—aesthetic delight. You are not just learning to move; you are learning to express emotions and appreciate the cultural richness of our ancient texts. We provide opportunities for internal assessments, ensuring that you have clear benchmarks for your growth. We also encourage all our students to aspire toward the 'Dance Karma' productions, where you can experience the discipline and exhilaration of the stage alongside our senior company dancers. Come join us and discover how dance can bring balance to your daily life.
