About Classical Indian Dance Classes
Why I Dance
For me, dance is how I find balance and joy. Rhythmotion is my space with my daughter Alar, where anyone can move, learn, and just feel good. Sometimes, you just need to shake off the stress and get that happy feeling - dance does that.
What We Teach
We’re all about Indian classical dance. If you want to learn Bharatanatyam or Kathak, you’ll get the real deal here. I teach in the Guru-Shishya style, so you get that traditional vibe. Bharatanatyam Margam training covers everything from basic steps to storytelling with expressions. Kathak footwork classes are all about those sharp tatkaars and smooth chakkars, plus we mix in live music sometimes - tabla and harmonium, so you get the full experience.
Bollywood Fusion
Not everyone wants hardcore classical. Our Kathak-Bollywood fusion dance lessons are for anyone who just wants to have fun and learn something new. No experience needed, no age limit. It’s all about enjoying the music and movement.
How Classes Work
We do hybrid classes - come to our Bangalore studio or join online. The curriculum is structured, with both practicals and theory (yep, we talk about Natyashastra and all that). You’ll get chances to perform, take exams, and be part of our year-end showcase, Chalana.
Beyond Dance
Dance isn’t just steps. It’s about building strength, mobility, and energy for life. That’s what we focus on, every single class.

My Story
Namaste, I’m Chitra and Rhythmotion is my second home, maybe my first! Started off learning under Maya didi, pranams to her always. Dance for me is riyaaz, it’s practice in any corner, even my paati’s house. Rhythmotion is family - my amma teaches Carnatic vocal, my daughter Alar dances and teaches too. We mix Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Bollywood, all with a lot of joy. Here, dance feels like home, not just a class.
