This is the first glimpse into our world of dance, community, and learning. We've selected these visuals to share the energy and essence of what we do at Samarpana. This is our invitation to you to explore the grace of Mohiniyattam and the joy of our collective.

Mohiniyattam Masterclasses & Workshops

These sessions form the foundation of our offerings, designed for both new students and seasoned practitioners. We focus on the core techniques, footwork, and expressive elements of the Bharati Shivaji style of Mohiniyattam in an interactive and immersive workshop format.

The 'Anubhavam' Artist Series

'Anubhavam' means experience, and this series is dedicated to bringing diverse artistic experiences to our community. We invite accomplished artists from around the world to share their unique perspectives on Mohiniyattam and other classical forms through intimate talks and demonstrations.

Collaborative Performances & Events

This is where our practice, or *sadhana*, comes to life on stage and in our studio. This collection features our group performances, experimental jams, and intimate presentations created in collaboration with our students and fellow artists.

Student Milestones: The Arangetram

The *Arangetram* is the sacred debut performance of a dancer after years of dedicated training. We are immensely proud to guide our students on this journey and present their maiden solo performances to the world.

Technical Arts for the Stage

A powerful performance is a sum of many parts, including lighting, sound, and stage design. We offer specialized workshops for the broader arts community to master these technical skills and elevate their creative productions.

Our Philosophy & Practice

For us, dance is a spiritual offering, a *samarpanam*. It is a path to losing the ego and connecting with a higher energy. This is a look into the philosophy that guides our teaching and the daily practice that embodies it.
