About this opportunity
The Part-Time Bharatanatyam Course at Kalakshetra Foundation introduces children to the Kalakshetra style (bani) of Bharatanatyam developed by Rukmini Devi Arundale. The course is conducted at the Rukmini Devi College of Fine Arts campus in Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai.
It is designed as an entry-level structured programme that prepares students for the Pratama examination, the first formal level in the Kalakshetra Bharatanatyam syllabus. Classes are held on weekends or after school hours so that learners can pursue the art alongside regular schooling.
