Bharatanatyam Classes - LIVE

We currently offer only in-person classes for bharatanatyam at our Bangalore centres.

Please check out our centres at Sanjaynagar and Rajajinagar in Bangalore

As this is our introductory batch, currently, we have classes only once a week. However, based on registrations, we will consider increasing both batches and frequency of classes.

Yes, absolutely. We have seen many adults, without any background in dance and music, learn bharatanatyam. Active interest and regular practice are the secrets for learning this art form.

We are very happy to learn of your interest and encourage you to wait for a short while before joining bharatanatyam classes. The reason we suggest that children should be above six years of age is that the rigorous foot tapping and intricate hand gestures can be taxing on a small child.

Yes, of course! Bharatanatyam can be learnt by boys and girls alike. There are many accomplished male dancers.

You have come to the right place! We will be conducting bharatanatyam dance classes for kids above the age of 6 years. At SaPa, we believe in learning with in-depth understanding and achieving excellence. Start your journey with us.

Our educator will ensure that you are taught the meanings, history, and background of the songs. Bharatanatyam is a universal dance form that is learnt by people from across India and the globe. In fact, you will have the chance to learn new languages and practices as you learn this dance form. And get an insight into Indian culture - a golden connection to our rich heritage!

Any form of dance will help in flexibility and fitness. As bharatanatyam has its own technical aspects, we will ensure that you learn all the nuances and variations and get a solid foundation into this classical style.

Based on the progress of students, we will assess their ability to perform. Bharatanatyam has many technical elements and it takes time for children to adjust to the specific movements. Please encourage your child to practise what is taught in class. Getting the basics right will go a long way towards dancing with the right gestures and movements. This is when your child will feel prepared to give a stage performance. Generally, they should learn for at least a year.

With the National Education Policy (NEP) giving more importance to Arts subjects, including music, exam certifications in dance can help you pursue a career in dance and music. What exams do is that they perfect the technical elements of dance like hand gestures, adavus, and facial expressions. The theoretical knowledge that you learn when you prepare for exams also provides a solid base for your performance.

Apart from practice, it would be a good idea for your child to watch bharatanatyam performances to see the different expressions and movements of other performers. Exposure to the art form will kindle more interest to practise and excel.
