"The importance of Bharatnatyam in my life is just undefinable. Learning Bharatnatyam under my mentor, Guru Mrs. Vidya Subramaniam (Patel) has taught me to be respectful, grateful, graceful, confident and many more things. Bharaynatyam is not just about learning this ancient practice. It teaches you to appreciate things that you have in life."
Our mission is to provide students of all ages with the skills to enjoy music and dance for a lifetime.
Our goal is not just to teach Bharatnatyam dance for the recital, but to also introduce many skills necessary to become an accomplished and astute learner for years to come.
Learning in small groups helps students to master skills while having fun.
