Bharatanatyam
Our Bharatanatyam program forms the heart of Nrityalaya. Rooted in the Maadhurya Maarga tradition of Dr. Tulasi Ramachandra, the classes emphasize both technical mastery and emotional storytelling.
Students learn intricate adavus (basic steps), mudras (hand gestures), abhinaya (expression), and the rhythmic beauty of nritta and nritya.
As they progress, they also explore composition, choreography, and stage performance — developing both discipline and creativity.
This program is open to learners aged 5 and above and is offered in structured levels from beginner to advanced.
Semi-Classical Dance
The Semi-Classical Dance program combines the elegance of classical Bharatanatyam with the freedom and rhythm of contemporary Indian music.
This style emphasizes graceful movement, storytelling, and musical interpretation, making it accessible and enjoyable for dancers from diverse backgrounds.
Students explore creative choreography while maintaining classical discipline — a perfect blend of tradition and modernity.
Ideal for intermediate and advanced students seeking expressive versatility and stage confidence.
