At Nitya Natyashale, we are committed to educating students in the sacred form of Bharatanatyam, the oldest classical dance tradition, initiated in the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu and eventually flourished in South India. We offer comprehensive and in-depth training in Bharathanatyam from beginner through professional level. We believe that through self-discipline, dedication and the practice of this art form, the student will find inner joy and a higher expression of their true self, thus building a consummate individual. The student is therefore encouraged to enjoy and continue this journey of learning without getting caught up with the destination of an accomplishment.
Emphasis is given, not only, to the physical perfection of form and technique but also to the deeper understanding of the history, culture, theory, thalam, philosophy and mythology.
Classes are currently conducted at Sydney, Australia. The coursework includes both theory and practical aspects.
We believe in importance of preserving and honouring the true traditional art form while developing new and universal narratives that reaches to all.
Nitya Natyashale instils in the students the passion and enthusiasm for Bharatanatyam by making it more structured, fun and unbiased learning environment. The Guru (Teacher) actively demonstrates in class enabling the students to absorb the intricacies and subtleties of traditional art form; a deviation from competition focused training often seen in this region.
