Bharathanatyam Classes

Our classes for children are tailored to suit their age, growing needs and dreams. While the sessions are focused on vocabulary and technique, the classes also include learning through games, drawing and discussions. The approach to classes is holistic where children learn and teach each other. Children have a lot of freedom and agency in the classes and they learn more than just Bharathanatyam. The batch size is small so that special attention can be paid to ensure every child is included, their strengths are enhanced and their limitations are worked upon. The facilitation is also sensitive to how and in what language a traditional form can be articulated to children. 

These classes are for adults who are beginning their journey with the form or are coming back to the form after sometime and want to revisit the basics or are interested in relearning the form. These classes focus on body conditioning, strength building, repeated practice and foundational aspects of bharathanatyam. 

Our online dance classes are focused on international students looking to refine their dancing skills.

They tailored to the individual, ensuring that everyone gets the most out of their virtual dance experience.

These one-on-one classes are conducted for highly personalised training of students who like working in a solo environment and are looking to accelerate their journey into the performance arts.

These classes are specially designed for advanced practitioners who are training to be performers. The students will learn new items and choreographies with a special focus on individual corrections of form, style, presence and nuances of abhinaya. These are highly specialised classes for an in-depth and comprehensive learning of the form with a detailed and meticulous approach.

We conduct module based classes for adults every two months, with a pre-decided curriculum. Each module is of varying lengths and includes 10-20 sessions depending on the syllabus announced. These classes are intense and durational. The schedule for these sessions are decided based on the convenience of the interested participants. Each module culminates in a performance where the participants perform what they have learnt and share their experience.

Bharathanatyam Brunch sessions are Nirali’s most original and unique offering. This is our crazy class where we play, laugh, talk, sleep, watch and do all things fun. They are movement based classes but have something to offer to every kind of participant. Each session is different from the other. We experiment, explore and learn so much about  ourselves and the world around us through these sessions. These classes are conducted upon announcement. They are open to all, dancers and non-dancers and anyone with a curious heart and an enthusiasm to try, move, talk and listen. Bharathanatyam dancers looking to create their own body of work, choreograph or wanting to build a community or a place to share will highly benefit from these sessions.
