Margam Dance Company
Classes are offered on specific days of the week, but we aim to be flexible if the need arises.
Welcome to our dance classes, where we believe in nurturing each student's unique journey. Our structured levels cater to varying degrees of knowledge, emphasizing foundational excellence before progressing to creativity and self-expression. While immediate performances are not guaranteed, our dedicated approach ensures that every dancer develops their skills at their own pace.
Beginner
​Beginner classes are designed for individuals with no prior experience with Bharatanatyam or any Indian classical dance form.
​
We begin with the very basics to create a strong foundation -- and introduce elements of storytelling and culture to help students grow and connect with the art form.
Intermediate
Students should be comfortable with the basics (Adavus) and simple pieces (such as Alarippu and short Jathis or other beginner items).
​
We focus on learning structured choreography and items, and introduce abhinaya (emotions) and basic performance skills.
Advanced
Advanced learners will work on complex choreography and hone the nuances of Bharatanatyam.
​
Students work towards familiarity with a full-length performance (Margam) and often conduct an Arangetram at this stage to signify their emergence into the dance world as performers.
Senior & Production Company
Students learn complex choreography, enhancing their Bharatanatyam skills. We encourage self-expression, teach advanced abhinaya, and involve them more actively in choreography and thematic productions.

Members of our production team need not be trained in the same Bani.
