WHAT IS kalavriddhi ?

Kalavriddhi is a one-stop centre for Bharatanatyam and cultural learning. It is an institution that provides classical dance training rooted in traditional techniques while embracing a mindful and contemporary approach to education. At Kalavriddhi, gurus and cultural enthusiasts are guided through a disciplined, creative and confidence-building learning journey. A major objective of the institution is the revival and recital of lesser-known works composed especially for the stage, without limiting expressiveness to song-based abhinaya alone. The training is tailored to different age groups and learning objectives, combining depth with enjoyment. Learners are introduced to the art through easy kritis, kolattam and kummi, making the learning process engaging and culturally integrated.
