Your Journey Starts Here: Beginner & Open Level Classes
This is where it all begins. Our beginner and open-level classes are designed for anyone and everyone, regardless of age, body type, or dance experience. We offer a structured 8-month certification course broken into levels, as well as flexible open-level classes and short crash courses to fit your schedule.
Deepen Your Practice: Intermediate & Advanced Training
For students who have completed the beginner course or have prior experience, our intermediate and advanced classes offer a deep dive into specific styles. We explore the history, culture, and technical nuances of genres like Baladi, Raqs Sharqi, Saidi, and Muwashahat, helping you refine your artistry and progress toward a professional level.
From Studio to Stage: Performances & Showcases
At Nrityakosh, performance is an integral part of the learning journey. We host regular student showcases, known as 'Haflas', and large-scale annual productions that give every student a chance to shine. See how our students' hard work in the studio translates into confident and joyful stage performances.
Our Fusion Styles: Blending Worlds
We pride ourselves on our unique fusion formats that blend the vocabulary of Oriental dance with other forms like Kathak, contemporary, Bollywood, and Jazz. These workshops and courses offer a creative space to explore how different dance languages can speak to each other.
The Nrityakosh Community: Our Tribe
More than a dance school, we are a tribe. We foster a safe, inclusive, and supportive space where students build lasting friendships, celebrate each other's journeys, and find a true sense of belonging. Here, every body, age, and gender expression is celebrated.

Our school is led by a team of passionate, dedicated, and highly trained instructors. Personally mentored by our founder, Debapriya Das, each faculty member brings their unique style, expertise, and a deep love for teaching to their classes. Get to know the teachers who will guide your dance journey.
Train Anytime, Anywhere: Online & Hybrid Options
Can't make it to the studio? No problem. Most of our classes are offered in a hybrid format, allowing you to join live via Zoom from anywhere in the world. We also provide recordings of every session, so you can catch up or revise at your own convenience.
Stretch, Strengthen, and Align
A strong, flexible, and well-aligned body is key to a healthy dance practice. Our specialized online "Stretch & Strength" module is designed for belly dancers to improve alignment, build core strength, and increase flexibility. These classes are also beneficial for non-movers looking to correct posture and build pelvic awareness.
Our Story & Philosophy
We are more than just a dance school; we are a center for artistic and cultural education. We believe in teaching belly dance with respect for its origins, exploring its history, and using it as a powerful tool for storytelling and self-expression. Learn about our journey and the values that define us.
