Pathanjali School of Dance

Launched on April 24th, 2012, by the esteemed Guru Smt. Vidya. S, the Pathanjali School of Dance is a sanctuary for those who cherish the divine art of Bharathanatyam. Inaugurated by the renowned Kalaimamani Smt. Charulatha Jayaraman, this vibrant institution celebrates the traditional Pandanallur style, breathing life into the timeless scripts, sculptures, and cultural heritage.

The school’s ethos is deeply rooted in the passion and dedication of Guru Vidya, who views Bharathanatyam as a spiritual journey, each performance a canvas painted with the dynamic strokes of nritta (action) and nritya (expression). With over a decade of nurturing talent, Pathanjali has proudly conducted numerous solo, dual, and group arangetrams, guiding students to new heights of artistic excellence.

Pathanjali School of Dance thrives on the community spirit and the esteemed guidance of luminaries in the field during its celebrated annual events. The school's disciples gain invaluable exposure by performing at various temples and participating in prestigious dance programs, fostering confidence and stage presence. Memorable experiences like beach shoots add a creative flair, making the learning process both fun and enriching.

The legacy of Pathanjali extends beyond its walls, with students having performed in television programs for Sankara TV and Thyagayya TV, where they met legendary artists like Smt. Shantha Dhananjayan and Sri. Dhananjayan. The school's name itself honors Patanjali Muni’s divine connection with Lord Shiva, embodying a rich spiritual heritage that drives the school's mission to impart the profound beauty of Bharathanatyam to the next generation.
