About Bharatanatyam Dance Classes

What Makes Us Different

Nrithyakuteera is honestly like a second home for all of us. I’m Deepa Bhat, and I treat every student as my own makla (kids). Here, laughter, energy, and support are just as important as dancing itself. We stick to the Guru-Shishya tradition but also make space for new ideas. Our seniors act like akka (big sisters) and everyone helps each other grow - not just in dance, but in life too.

How We Approach Bharatanatyam

We train mainly in Kalakshetra style Bharatanatyam. Basics come first, always. I’ll keep asking for better adavus (steps), even when students think they’ve nailed it - that’s just how we keep the standard high. We mix practicals with theory, including kanakku (rhythmic maths), so students understand both movement and meaning.

Who Can Join

Doesn’t matter if you’re a total beginner, a school kid, or a mummy wanting to try something new. We’ve got batches for every level: from absolute beginners to seniors, vidwath, and even a ladies-only “mummy batch.” It’s never too late or too early to start dancing.

Beyond the Class

We love to perform. My students regularly get on stage - from our grand annual ‘Nrithya Milana’ at big venues, to cultural festivals all over Bengaluru, and even TV spots like DD Chandana. If you want to experience Bharatanatyam stage performance opportunity, you’ll get it here.

Serious About Dance?

For those who want to go deep, we help students prepare for university certified Bharatanatyam training through respected institutions. If you’re dreaming of real recognition, we’ll walk with you all the way.

Dance with us, find your people, and just be yourself. That’s what our NK family is all about.
