About Meet the Nrityakosh Faculty
You aren't just learning choreography; you are being mentored. Whether it is Debapriya’s focus on historical context, Madhu’s integration of yoga-based conditioning, or Rituparna’s bridge between corporate life and artistic passion, our instructors offer direct feedback in every session. We keep our batches intimate so that whether you join us in HSR Layout, Sarjapur Road, or online, you receive the technical corrections you need to actually progress.
Our faculty is the heartbeat of Nrityakosh. We believe that a good dance teacher does more than demonstrate; they help you find your own voice in the movement.
Debapriya Das, Founder & Artistic Director Debapriya brings deep cultural research into every class. Having trained in Bharatnatyam, Kathak, and ballet before specializing in Middle Eastern dance, she ensures our syllabus is rooted in history. When you train under her, expect to learn not just the 'how' of a movement, but the 'why'—the emotion and the history behind the rhythm.
Madhu S Rao, Senior Faculty Madhu is a certified yoga coach, and her teaching style reflects that precision. She focuses heavily on dancer-specific conditioning, ensuring that your body is strong enough to handle the technique without injury. Students value her for her cool-headed approach and her ability to make the most challenging isolations feel accessible. You can find her leading classes in Koramangala, JP Nagar, and New Bel Road.
Rituparna Roy Chowdhury, Senior Faculty Rituparna proves that you can balance a demanding career with a deep passion for dance. As an engineering project manager, she brings structure and discipline to her classes while maintaining a warm, welcoming environment. She specializes in bridging the gap for students who, like her, are finding their identity beyond their 9-to-5 jobs.
Whether you are looking for a rigorous beginner certification course or an open-level session to de-stress, our instructors are here to ensure you feel supported, challenged, and at home. We are not just a dance school; we are a community that grows together.
