Free Trial ClassGraceful storytelling through dance and drama
Kuchipudi is a classical dance form that originated in Andhra Pradesh, deeply rooted in temple rituals and spiritual narratives. It was traditionally performed by male Brahmin dancers as part of devotional offerings and has evolved into a dynamic solo and group performance art.
At Dhwani, we honor the traditional Kuchipudi style while incorporating modern teaching methodologies. Our curriculum ensures the authenticity of the art form is preserved, while making it engaging and accessible for learners of all backgrounds.
Our structured program includes basic jathis, abhinaya (expression), tarangams (dancing on the brass plate), and narrative dance pieces. Students will explore the interplay of rhythm, emotion, and storytelling unique to Kuchipudi.
