ABOUT US

Samskriti is a dance school that trains students in the art form of Bharathanatyam, an Indian classical dance style from Southern India. The dance school encourages students to look at art as a way of life and to apply their learning and training in all fields of activity. At Samskriti we approach dance in a holistic manner where the student is trained in both the theoretical and practical aspects of dance in addition to allied arts such as music, poetry and body conditioning.

**Our motto:**
“Dance is a way of uplifting and giving happiness to the self and others”
