What we teach
We teach the technique of Bharatanatyam, step by honest step. The stories behind every dance. The stage, from a first recital to the arangetram. And the character that outlasts the class.
Steps alone are exercise. Stories alone are theatre. Bharatanatyam is both at once. So classes here teach both.

The three parts
What Bharatanatyam is made of
The feet keep the time. The eyes tell the story.
Nritta is pure dance. Rhythm, pattern and speed, with no story to carry.
Nritya adds expression. Natya adds drama. A trained dancer holds all three at once.
