About

At Nrityakosh, I see belly dance as more than fitness or flashy moves. I care about bhava and rasa - basically, feeling and essence. I want you to use your body to tell stories, not just copy steps. My training is all about making you a thinking dancer who knows how to express, not just perform.

Paths to the Spotlight

Doesn't matter if you're fresh or seasoned, I help you step onto the stage when you're ready. My student showcases are your first shot - super supportive, not scary. There’s the beginner showcase (just weeks in), then our Monsoon Hafla (quarterly chill session), and RAQS-E-MEHFIL (the big yearly show). I handle the backstage headaches so you focus on your moment.

Level Up: Embodied Storytelling

For dancers wanting more, I run an 8-week deep dive. You learn to build big pieces from scratch - picking music, costumes, and research. The final project is a full 75-minute show. This is where storytelling through dance really kicks in.

Labs & Mentorship

Collaboration matters. In my Performance Lab, belly dancers in Bangalore try new stuff, get honest feedback, and grow together. The Triple Bill is for pros who want to make their own 15-minute fusion dance production with my guidance.

Going Pro: The Company

If you’re dreaming big, my company wing is for you. Dancers trained in our blend of Oriental, Kathak, and contemporary style get to tour and perform across India and beyond.

Classes are in Bangalore, but lots of our modules (like Embodied Storytelling) run online too. So you can join from anywhere.
