Meenakshi A.

I teach Bharatanatyam, one of the most revered classical dance forms of India. I have been teaching for the past seven years, and my journey with Bharatanatyam began in my early childhood. Under the guidance of experienced gurus, I developed a deep love and respect for this art, which I now strive to share with my students.
While I have not completed formal certification yet, I am currently pursuing a Diploma in Bharatanatyam to further enhance my knowledge and technique. This pursuit reflects my belief that learning never stops, even for a teacher. I continuously refine my skills so that I can offer my students the best of traditional and contemporary approaches.
Over the years, I have trained more than 30 students, each with unique strengths and aspirations. I’ve worked as a choreographer in schools and have taken on both part-time and full-time teaching roles. These varied experiences have helped me understand different learning styles and adapt my methods accordingly, whether I am working with beginners or advanced students.
I conduct both online and offline classes based on the preference and convenience of the learner. My classes are rooted in discipline and grace, yet flexible enough to cater to modern
schedules. I place great emphasis on building a strong foundation in adavus (basic steps), expressions, and theoretical knowledge.
In addition to performance training, I also offer certification from my end to students who complete specific levels of learning. This helps them gain formal recognition for their progress and prepares them for public performances and exams if they choose that path.
Dance, for me, is a form of self-expression and spiritual discipline. Through Bharatanatyam, I aim to help students connect with their inner self, build confidence, and experience the joy of movement. Each class is not just a lesson, but a celebration of this timeless art form.
