Authentic classical Indian dance for diaspora children aged 6-12. Taught in English, Hindi, or Japanese. Not running this term.

Bharatanatyam kids class — Sanya Dance Studio Tokyo

What your child will learn

  • Adavus — the foundational steps, taught in the Kalakshetra tradition
  • Hastas — the language of hand gestures and their meaning
  • Aramandi (the half-sit position) — the foundation that holds the art form together
  • Simple compositions building toward Arangetram-level work
  • Confidence on stage — kids perform at our annual recital
Sanya's approach
“For diaspora families, Bharatanatyam is more than dance — it's a way to pass on the language of your roots. I trained in the Kalakshetra tradition. I teach your kids the same — but in Tokyo, in your kid's first language.”
— Sanya Ohri
