Are you the owner of Kalakendra?
Kalakendra is a distinguished music and dance institute based in Dwarka, established in 2006 under the Kalakendra Trust. Committed to promoting India's rich heritage of classical music and dance, Kalakendra offers a serene oasis for those looking to relieve stress through artistic expression. The institute operates under the guidance of Vidushi Ratna Lahiri, a renowned performing sitarist and the recipient of the Rashtriya Manav Ratna Samman 2010.
At Kalakendra, the focus is on providing professional and comprehensive training in both classical and Western music and dance forms. The institute utilizes audio-visual aids, qualified teachers, and regular assessments to nurture a genuine interest in performing arts among its students. Special emphasis is placed on making these traditions accessible to physically and mentally challenged students, as well as those from economically weaker sections of society, thereby making Kalakendra a truly inclusive community.
The institute’s principal, Mrs. Ratna Lahiri, brings a wealth of experience and passion for the arts. She has been instrumental in shaping young minds and introducing hundreds of children in Dwarka to the world of music and dance. Students at Kalakendra are also given opportunities to showcase their talents during major cultural festivals and national celebrations like Dussehra, Diwali, Independence Day, and Republic Day.
Kalakendra takes pride in its students' achievements, including consistently high results in Hindustani and Western classical music exams, and multiple accolades from inter-school competitions. The annual Dwarka Sangit-O-Nritya Samman is a highlight, providing a platform for students to perform and receive recognition. Each year culminates in an annual celebration at the CCRT Auditorium, showcasing the vibrant community spirit and artistic achievements of Kalakendra.
Enrollment at Kalakendra is open to all age groups, and classes are conducted three times a week with flexible payment options. Join Kalakendra to experience the transformative power of music and dance in a supportive and nurturing environment.
