Nrityashala is Bengaluru's premier Kathak academy — where ancient storytelling through footwork, gesture, and expression comes alive under the guidance of Guru Supriya Mishra.
Kathak is one of India's eight classical dance forms, rooted in the devotional poetry of northern India. Its name derives from katha — storyteller — and every performance is a narrative woven through rhythm, gesture, and expression.
At Nrityashala, we preserve this tradition while making it accessible to all. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned dancer, our structured curriculum takes you from first steps to stage performances.
Located at Orchids International School, Arekere, Bengaluru, our studio is a nurturing space where culture, discipline, and joy come together.
Discover the foundations of Kathak in a nurturing, patient environment. Learn basic footwork (tatkar), hand gestures (mudras), and the fundamental postures that form the grammar of this beautiful dance form.
Deepen your practice with more complex compositions, layered rhythms, and expressive abhinaya (storytelling). Build stamina, musicality, and the confidence to perform before audiences.
Refine your artistry at the highest level. Work on demanding compositions, intricate improvisations, and stage presence. Advanced students prepare for formal examinations and solo recitals.
With a lifetime devoted to the classical art of Kathak, Guru Supriya Mishra brings both technical mastery and deep spiritual understanding to every class. Her performances carry the full weight of this ancient tradition — storytelling through the language of the body.
Under her guidance, students don't just learn steps — they learn to express, to feel, and to communicate. Her teaching philosophy blends rigorous classical training with nurturing encouragement, creating dancers who are both technically sound and artistically free.
Founder of Nrityashala, she has built over ten years of excellence at Orchids International School, Arekere, Bengaluru — shaping hundreds of students across all levels.
Celebrating ten years of Kathak dance, dedication, and dreams at Nrityashala — and every year, the stories grow more beautiful.
— Guru Supriya Mishra, Founder
