Bharatanatyam Dance Classes
Teaching Experience in detail in Dance classes
I am Chitra Manga, Founder and Director of Ishwari Kalamandir – Academy of Performing Arts in Chennai and Mumbai. I hold an M.A. in Bharatanatyam and a Diploma in Nattuvangam, and have been teaching Bharatanatyam for several years with dedication and passion. At Ishwari Kalamandir, I train students of all ages — from beginners to advanced learners — focusing on adavus, jathis, abhinaya, and theory. My teaching emphasizes discipline, expression, and understanding the cultural depth of the art. Students are trained for NSDC Certification and Grade Examinations, along with stage performances, workshops, and annual programs, gaining confidence and strong stage presence. I believe Bharatanatyam is not just dance but a path of devotion, discipline, and self-expression.

Teaching Experience in detail in Vocal Music classes
I am Chitra Manga, Founder and Director of *Ishwari Kalamandir – Academy of Performing Arts* in Chennai and Mumbai. I hold a B.E. in Electronics, a Diploma in Carnatic Vocal, an M.A. in Bharatanatyam, and a Diploma in Nattuvangam. With years of experience in both Bharatanatyam and Carnatic music, I aim to nurture students with a strong foundation in rhythm, melody, and expression. At Ishwari Kalamandir, I train learners from beginner to advanced levels in *sarali varisai, alankaram, geetham, varnams,* and *krithis*, emphasizing *voice culture, swara perfection, talam,* and *bhava*. Students also receive guidance in *performance techniques* and *presentation skills*. Our academy prepares students for NSDC Certification and Grade Examinations, along with stage performances, workshops, and annual events that enhance confidence and musical understanding. I believe music and dance together shape a student’s artistic and spiritual growth — blending discipline, devotion, and lifelong learning .
