NANDA Performing Arts Center

Nanda by Iswarya Bharatanatyam class is AMAZING! 🎶🌸 Miss Iswarya mam teaches us beautiful mudras, graceful steps, and how to tell stories through dance. I love wearing the colorful traditional costume and the jingling ankle bells (salangai)! 🥻 She makes learning so fun, and I feel confident when I perform on stage. My favorite part is practicing the ‘adavus’ and learning about the gods and goddesses in the dances. 🙏 If you want to learn Bharatanatyam, join this class! I never want to miss it! A wonderful blend of tradition and joy! )

Nurturing Tradition with Grace and Joy As a parent, I recommend Nanda by Iswarya’s Bharatanatyam classes . My 9-year-old daughter has thrived here both as a dancer and as a culturally rooted individual. Guru Miss. Iswarya’s dedication to preserving the essence of Bharatanatyam while making it accessible to children is remarkable. The classes seamlessly blend discipline and creativity. Guru Miss. Iswarya patiently teaches intricate adavus, mudras, and abhinaya (expressions), ensuring the children understand the storytelling heart of this art form. My daughter now practices with newfound focus at home and eagerly shares stories of deities and epics she learns through the dance narratives—a beautiful cultural education in itself! The annual recitals are a highlight. Watching the students perform in traditional costumes, accompanied by live nattuvangam (cymbals), is a proud and emotional experience. Guru Miss. Iswarya instills not just technical skill but also confidence and stage presence. My daughter’s posture, rhythm, and love for our heritage have grown exponentially. What truly sets this class apart is the emphasis on values: respect for the art, perseverance, and teamwork. The environment is warm and encouraging, yet structured enough to foster growth. If you’re seeking a Bharatanatyam class that honors tradition while nurturing a child’s spirit, this is the place. Thank you, Guru Miss.Iswarya, for igniting a lifelong passion in my child!

Iswarya & team, your 'Naari Shakthi' performance was absolutely mesmerizing. The way you wove joy, tradition, emotion, and the message of Dharma into the storyline was truly occupying from beginning to end. Thank you, and we eagerly await more performances.
