Curriculum

An evaluation of student’s level is conducted to determine student placement.

Our curriculum encompasses a carefully structured program that addresses training in bharatanatyam movement technique, abhinaya-expressional dance, bharatanatyam theory (drawn from various classical dance texts) music, aspects of South Asian culture and aspects of safe dance practice and dancer health.

We have aligned our curriculum, with style specific variations, to that of bharatanatyam examination syllabus of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) in London, England. 

Our curriculum is aligned with Grade One of the ISTD bharatanatyam from Level 4, which is the first year of the Intermediate Level. 

Our curriculum is designed to serve three levels of training:

Elementary Level: Includes students 4-6 years of age. Students dance for 45 minutes per class, as an introduction to the bharatanatyam dance form.

Beginner Level: Includes students in the age group 6 years and up and consists of Levels 1-3. Students dance for one hour a week learning the basic building blocks of bharatanatyam.

Intermediate Level: This group consists of Levels 4 – 6, students commit to classes two hours a week and commence the Certification program.

Advanced Level: Includes Levels 7-10, students have committed to the Certification program, Three to four hours a week as stipulated by teacher. 

Certification: Upon completion of levels 1-10.

Arangetram: Upon confirmation of eligibility by the Director, the student will be required to attend intensive individualized training for 1-2 years.

Fees:

Fees range from $15 – $20  per class depending on the level and number of classes per week.

We offer a 20 % family discount to siblings enrolled in the Academy.
