BEGIN YOUR Bharathanatyam JOURNEY.

Group LESSONS

At TAPAS Australia Dance Academy, group Bharatanatyam lessons are carefully designed to nurture every student’s journey in this timeless art form. Classes are thoughtfully structured according to age, level, and individual capability, ensuring that each dancer receives both the guidance and challenge they need to grow.

While taught in a group setting, personalised attention and quality remain our highest priority. Every student is encouraged to progress at their own pace, with a strong balance of theory and practical training. This holistic approach allows dancers not only to perfect their technique but also to deepen their understanding of the philosophy, stories, and traditions behind Bharatanatyam.

To foster confidence and a sense of achievement, we also offer examinations and certifications. These milestones provide students with recognition of their progress and affirm the depth and structure within their learning.

At the heart of every class lies Bhakti (devotion), joy, and discipline. Each lesson goes beyond movement—it is about embodying the spirit of the art form with sincerity and grace.

As a certified yoga teacher, our founder integrates yoga practices into the training, helping students develop the strength, flexibility, and focus essential for Bharatanatyam. This combination ensures that dancers are not only artistically enriched but also physically and mentally aligned for their performance journey.

At TAPAS Australia, group lessons become more than just classes—they become a shared journey of devotion, artistry, and structured learning.

Yoga

for Bharthanatyam

At TAPAS Australia, we offer dedicated yoga classes designed especially for Bharatanatyam dancers who want to build the strength, flexibility, and endurance that this classical art form demands.

These are full yoga sessions, separate from our dance classes, but thoughtfully curated to focus on the areas most essential for dancers:

  • Core and Leg Strength – to support long Araimandi postures, stability, and balance.

  • Hip and Spine Flexibility – for graceful movements, expansive gestures, and safe mobility.

  • Stamina and Breath Control – to sustain the intensity of Bharatanatyam performances with ease.

  • Muscle Toning and Alignment – ensuring the body is conditioned, strong, and injury-free.

Led by a certified yoga teacher, these classes blend traditional yoga practices with a dancer’s needs in mind. Whether you are a beginner looking to improve your posture or an advanced dancer preparing for demanding performances, these sessions provide the physical conditioning and inner focus required to take your Bharatanatyam journey further.

Strengthen. Stretch. Align. Empower your dance with yoga.
