Fostering and Development with a Purpose

The Academy fosters the development of young dancers into cutting-edge artists by challenging students to think outside the box. The superb technical instruction provided by the Institute, combined with thought-provoking materials, supports dancers’ growth as “complete artists – those who are well-rounded, open-minded, and completely engaged in mind, body, and spirit.

A Leader in Dance Education

Legendary Guru, great trainers, excellent facilities, and a nurturing environment for children to learn the art of Bharatanatyam. There is a reason why Natya Kala Mandhir has been in business for over four decades! Our Guru and other exceptionally competent trainers are passionate about the students. Furthermore, the end-of-the-year show at a local theatre is something that both parents and children thoroughly enjoy.

Training by Renowned Guest Artists

Every year, we bring in prominent choreographers and gurus for workshops that involve master lessons, discussions, and the creation of spectacular new works produced exclusively for our dancers. Your development as an artist and a person is something we want to see flourish. With our one-of-a-kind tools and direction, aspiring dancers can grow into fully developed artists, one who is sensitive to and involved in multiple cultural contexts and disciplines.

Feel Moved, Influence Others

Natya Kala Mandhir Guru and talented trainers and distinguished guest artists are as passionate about their students as they are about their profession, with a great breadth of knowledge and an exceptional portfolio of real-world dance experience.
