Classes

Kaladyuthi offers both face to face and online dance classes. Currently we only offer face to face classes. Most classes are group classes, but private lessons are also offered upon request and discussion. Our classes cover both the theoretical and practical aspects of Bharatanatyam and its principles.

We offer the following group classes:

• Kids Junior Beginners - Ages 5 - 10. For kids with no prior training or experience in Bharatanatyam.
