Are you the owner of Navarasa Academy of Indian Classical Dance?
Navarasa Academy of Indian Classical Dance, nestled in the heart of Nerul, Navi Mumbai, has been a beacon of Bharatanatyam and Mohiniyattam excellence since its inception in 1988. Established by the dedicated Mr. Gopinath Warrier and the illustrious Guru Sushama Gopinath, the academy started with just two students. Due to Guru Sushama's hands-on, passionate teaching approach, the institution quickly gained a reputation for outstanding dance education, attracting an ever-growing number of students.
With over 400 students now enrolled across various centers in Navi Mumbai, Navarasa Academy has blossomed into a leading institution. Courses are offered in Bharatanatyam and Mohiniyattam at convenient locations including Nerul, Vashi, CBD Belapur, and Kharghar. The academy proudly boasts more than 50 Bharatanatyam and five Mohiniyattam arangetrams (graduation performances), a testament to its high standard of training and achievement. Those who complete their arangetram often continue to refine their artistry under Guru Sushama’s expert guidance.
Navarasa’s commitment to cultivating dance talent is affirmed through affiliations with Bharatiya Sangeeta Samiti, ensuring students not only gain deep knowledge and skills but also receive recognized diplomas. The academy’s students have earned invitations to perform on prestigious stages across India, and the annual performance at the Nerul Sri Ayyappa Temple Mahotsav is a cherished tradition that showcases their talents.
Guru Sushama Gopinath, a distinguished and revered figure in classical dance, has crafted this academy with a blend of tradition and innovation. Her meticulous choreography, deeply rooted in India’s rich cultural heritage, has resulted in mesmerizing productions like Dasavatharam, Krishnaleela, and Shree Ayyappan. Navarasa Academy welcomes all who wish to embark on a profound and enriching dance journey, fostering not just artists but a close-knit community dedicated to the timeless beauty of Indian classical dance.
