Artistic Background

Bharatanatyam is thriving in ways, unlike any other classical dance. And the credit must go to its dedicated practitioners. The dance style is growing in strength, blossoming in varying genres and schools of thought, such as Pandanallur, Thanjavur, Mysore, and Kalakshetra variants.

Bharatanatyam is prospering mainly due to the institutional assistance it has had for a long time. The dance style found early patrons and visionaries from the Madras Music Academy to Rukminidevi Arundale’s Kalakshetra.
