Nava Nritya Dance Academy of Philadelphia trains dance enthusiasts of ALL ages in Bharatnatyam (South Indian Classical Dance) and Navanritya (contemporary synthesis of classical dance forms, martial arts, yoga and ballet). This institution was founded in February 2004 as a training school and has evolved into a close-knit family of 23 students and 5 senior trained dancers. Comprehensive classes are held in a beautiful ballet dance studio (fully mirrored) in the heart of suburban Philadelphia on Sundays. Students also gain knowledge in fundamentals of other classical dance forms and folk dances to develop a strong foundation essential for becoming a true exponent and choreographer of the powerful language of Indian Traditional and Contemporary Art. .
