Fill the Form to get details!

Congratulations!! You have taken your first step (or maybe n-th...?) towards pursuing one of the most ancient and beautiful dance forms of India! And I would love to teach you whatever I've learned in my 20 years of Bharatanatyam training!

Before you decide on this method...
Bharatanatyam is a dance form that takes years and years to master. As such, the Guru-Shishya tradition of imparting lessons is the best way to pursue this dance form. The years I spent with my Guru were memorable and instrumental in shaping my dance the way it is today. Although I love teaching Bharatanatyam and have found the Online Method to be very effective - especially for accelerated progress; I would still advise you to learn from a teacher offline, if possible. Learning from a teacher directly is a beautiful experience! Of course, online one-on-one teaching is a close second! :-)

So before you decide to contact me to learn Bharatanatyam online, I urge you to make the attempt to find a teacher in your neighborhood. (especially if you are in India, there are so many teachers available in almost every city! Don't restrict to a Google search. Search your local contact registry!)

Ready? Great! Let's get started!

Natyakriya Online Bharatanatyam Classes - The Details

• This is a comprehensive method of learning aimed at imparting lessons at an accelerated pace. Progress in this method is usually observed to be twice (or more) as faster as a regular group class
• The classes are held via Google Hangouts or Skype (or any other video chat medium)
• You can customize the classes based on your schedule. You also get to choose how many hours of class you want to have during the month (dates & timings will be decided a month in advance)
• I often travel to remote locations in India & elsewhere; due to which I have to pay high internet charges, tax rates & transaction rates. The fees are structured just to cover the costs. They are inclusive of tax rates, PayPal charges, audio/video/theory material given to the student and other fixed charges incurred to offer the classes. In case you are 2-4 people who want to learn together as a group, I request you to fill out the form just once. I shall be giving you classes at a reduced rate.
• Fees have to be paid BEFORE the start of classes every month via PayPal or NEFT Payments to my Indian Bank.
• If you have ANY other questions, feel free to ask them in the form below.

An Alternative: Video Tutorials sent to your Mailbox!

It is my dream to make this dance form accessible to as many people as possible! However, due to work and time constraints, I am not able to do that. As a cheaper and more feasible alternative, I offer the option of learning through my video tutorials. In this method, I would regularly send you videos of steps / portion that you have to follow. This is effective for older students who can confidently follow tutorials and teach themselves.
