Nritya Kalakshetra Academy was founded with a vision to preserve, promote, and reimagine the timeless traditions of Indian classical dance within a global, contemporary context
Under the artistic guidance of Guru Smt. Sivanuja Balaji, an esteemed alumna of Kalakshetra College of Fine Arts, Chennai, the academy has grown into a vibrant center for learning, creativity, and cultural dialogue—where Bharatanatyam, Mohiniyattam, Contemporary movement, and Theatre arts come together in harmony.
What began as a small initiative to introduce young learners to the grace and discipline of Bharatanatyam has evolved into a dynamic institution celebrating the confluence of classical tradition and creative innovation. Students are trained rigorously in technique, expression, rhythm, and stagecraft, while being encouraged to explore the deeper philosophy and storytelling essence of Indian dance.
Guided by the principles of discipline, devotion, and discovery, Guru Sivanuja Balaji inspires students to view dance as both a spiritual practice and a living art.
Through performances, educational outreach, and international collaborations, Nritya Kalakshetra Academy continues to build bridges between tradition and innovation—upholding the essence of Indian dance while nurturing the artists of tomorrow.
