Why families choose us

Traditional training, close to home.

Finding a good Bharatanatyam teacher nearby matters more than most parents expect. Progress in this dance comes from steady weekly practice over years, and a class that is easy to reach on Saturdays and Sundays is a class your child will keep attending.

At Mayura Natyalaya, every student is taught directly by Smt. Aishwarya and Smt. Soundharya, who have more than fifteen years of teaching and performance experience. They are disciples of Guru Kalaimamani Smt. Charulatha Jayaraman, and they teach the Pandanallur style: clean lines, a deep araimandi and precise, unhurried technique.

  • Small weekend batches grouped by age and experience.
  • A structured path from the first adavus to the full margam and arangetram.
  • Personal attention to posture, rhythm and expression in every class.
  • Visit before you join — see a class in Porur and meet the teachers.
