This holistic approach ensures that students have ample support and resources to deepen their understanding of Bharatanatyam.

Beginner

For beginners, the journey starts with learning "Adavus," which serve as the foundational units of Bharatanatyam. They gradually progress through the stages of "Adavus", developing their understanding of the fundamentals including body positioning.

Intermediate

Intermediate students focus on refining their foundational skills and advancing to learning compositions. They concentrate on the components of "Nritta" (movements), "Nritya" (expression) and “Natya” (drama & story telling) , with continued emphasis on theory to deepen their understanding.

Advanced

Advanced students further hone their abilities by mastering intricate repertoire pieces, further develop their technique and knowledge, along with developing choreography skills.
