Training Programmes

RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMMES

We have a residential training programme in Odissi, Kathak or Bharatnatyam (new programme).
The basic training programme is for three years followed by an advanced training programme of three years. In addition we offer a separate advanced training programme in Odissi.

· BASIC TRAINING PROGRAMME IN ODISSI, KATHAK OR BHARATNATYAM
A total of six students are selected for the Basic training programme in Odissi, Kathak or Bharatnatyam. These students will stay at Nrityagram for the next three years. During this time, they learn from the greatest masters from all over the world and, the aim is to have holistically trained professional dancers and teachers, so that this dying tradition will be revitalized and preserved.

Dancers in the residential programme work six days of the week with dance related training for 10 to 12 hours per day.

It is our belief, that dance should be made available without any consideration of cost. Therefore, all residential students receive free lodge, board and training for a period of three to six years.
