Bharatnatyam and Navanritya Indian Dance Classes

Nava Nritya Dance Academy of Ambler, PA trains dance enthusiasts of ALL ages (pre-K to adult) in Bharatnatyam  (South Indian Classical Dance) and Navanritya (contemporary synthesis of classical dance forms, martial arts, yoga and ballet).

This institution was founded in February 2004 as a training school and has evolved into a close-knit family of 55 dancers including senior trained dancers. Comprehensive classes are held in a beautiful ballet dance studio (fully mirrored) in the heart of suburban Philadelphia on Sunday afternoons.

Students also gain knowledge in fundamentals of other classical dance forms and folk dances to develop a strong foundation essential for becoming a true exponent and choreographer of the powerful language of Indian Traditional and Contemporary Art. Our training is focused on utilizing Indian classical dance movements to build strong techniques in precision of movements, creative presentation, choreography, and music appreciation. We also spend considerable time with our students to nurture their communication and story-telling abilities, while improving body alignment, posture and stage presence.

Students enrolled at Nava Nritya Dance Academy also get opportunities to perform at various prestigious events & corporate shows in the Philadelphia area, in association with professional dance troupe Navrang.

Our classes: currently we have an advanced groups of students (adults and children) who have completed 7+ years of classical dance lessons and three groups of children are in their third, fourth, and fifth year of lessons, respectively.
