Bharatanatyam
Bharatanatyam is one of the oldest dance forms of India. The art was handed down as a
living tradition from generation to generation under the Devadasi system under which women were dedicated to temples to serve the deity as dancers and musicians forming part of the elaborate rituals. These highly talented artists and the male gurus (nattuvanars) were the sole repository of the art until the early 20th century when a renewal of interest in India's cultural heritage prompted the educated elite to discover its beauty.
Bharatanatyam classes are taken for Basic, Intermediate and Advanced levels. We begin teaching the foundation course with Pushpanjali, Jatiswaram and move on to the advanced levels and compositions based on the student's pick up of the dance form. The course has been designed keeping in mind the course curricula of different universities. The students are trained in the Dance theory, Abhinaya and Adavus.

Hip hop
Hip-Hop dance is first broken down into combinations, and then each combination is broken down into counts, and each count into movement. In the end all the moves and all the combinations are put together, and the dance is formed. In order to learn Hip-Hop, we will learn step by step how to create combinations, and then put them together into dance.
Hip hop dance lesson usually range from 45 minutes to 1-1.5 hours.
You might see something on TV, and think that hip hop is just one style, expecting your hip hop dance teacher to dance the same way, but it is different. Every hip hop dancer has its own personal style (freestyle), and that stands for teachers.
