About Akila
I'm Akila, a senior student of the "Natyakala Vipanchee" Smt. Meenakshi Sagar. I'm a certified Bharatanatyam teacher, instructor and performer. I hold a Masters degree in Bharathanatyam from Annamalai University. I'm also a graded artist with Doordarshan, India. I've spent almost the last 22 years learning this incredible art form, and I also have a heap of experience teaching and educating about it. Apart from English, I’m also well versed in Tamil and Hindi. I have taken part in a number of Sabhas, Natyanjalis, government-sponsored events, and corporate gatherings over the years. I'm also the recipient of various titles and awards from different dance foundations over the years which include, “NRITHYA ARADHIKA”, “NRITHYA KALA VIDUSHI”, “OJASWI”, “NRITHYA NIRANJANA” and “BHARATA KALAMANI”. Despite the fact that I am a working professional, my passion for the art form has inspired me to keep learning and sharing what I know.

Sri Gurubhyo Namaha Body and soul harmony is the main aim of the art form known as Bharatanatyam. To do this, you need to take both theoretical and practical sessions. I take only online classes. A typical class of mine consists of: - Warm-up exercises -Practical sessions that focus on correcting posture, enhancing Angashudham, taking a close look at adavus (the fundamental dancing units), and acclimating you to different speeds and nadai-s. - Theory Session - A thorough introduction to Bharatanatyam, a synopsis of Natyasastra, a study of the ideas in Abhinaya Dharpanam, and an examination of many mythical tales are all included in this session. - A cool-down session A detailed notes for all Shlokas, hastas and bedhas taught will be given to the students after each class. On request, the students will also get videos of the practical sessions for practice. The lesson includes these at no additional cost. My classes are also open for guiding you or helping you in understanding and correcting a specific item from a Margam. I'm also willing to choreograph any dance number for you for a specific occasion, event or performance. The Baani which I’ll be teaching is the Dhandayuthapani Pillai style. This baani consists of paying a lot of importance to clean lines and stances, correct positioning of hastas and giving a lot of emphasis on how the hand moves from one position to the other. At the same time, this baani also lays emphasis on delivery of movement vocabulary accompanied by grace and expression. As this great Nattuvanar was one of the foremost teachers at the Kalakshetra, his Baani has a lot of touch from the Kalakshetra style. For any other doubts or queries regarding the classes, do send me a message and I will get back to you at the earliest.

Akila is a phenomenal teacher who approaches every class she undertakes with the utmost sincerity, passion, and arduous effort. Each individual student needs to be handled differently. Akila understands that caters to our learning style, pace and requirements which makes the entire class totally worth the time and effort put forth by both the teacher and the sishya. She always arrives well-prepared for class, which inspires us to follow suit. You can fully comprehend what I'm talking about when you sign up for a trial lesson with her.
Akila is someone who has put her heart and soul in learning and teaching the art form. Her passion for the art is very much evident just by the way she teaches. I’m so happy to have her as my teacher. The best part about her teaching is that she changes it according to each individual’s personality.

If you are willing to join an online group session, then the rate per hour will be 7$. But the timing for group classes are fixed. But for individual classes there is a lot of flexibility with the timings.
