Naatiya Kalalayam of Classical Dance was instituted to impart Bharatanatiyam skills and faithfully nurture our classical Bharatanatiyam traditions.

History

First of all, I would like to thank god and parents Lord Shiva for his blessings which enable me to embrace the divine art of Indian dance, that has become an important part of my life. I also hope to merit the blessings of Guru Dr. Maria Prakash. She has not only provided me of thorough knowledge of Indian dance, but has also enriched my life in so many ways by teaching me important lessons about life and traditional standards and values.

The Slanagai are tried to dancers ankle and live performance is done for the first time on the stage in front of God, Parents and audience. Once Salangai Poojai is completed. The dancers exit from beginners level and will be proceed to advance level to prepare themselves for arengetram.

Arangetram

This first performance follows years of training and many Indian classical dance forms perform an arangetram once the time has come for a disciple. Literally means climbing the stage or reaching. It refers to the graduation ceremony where the guru presents his or her pupil to the public. Which marks the pathway for a dancer to then perform alone or be able to give training to other dancers. Once a dancer has completed training they should have an understanding of classical music and the many aspects of dancing.
