About Natyaradana
Classical Art, Thoughtfully Taught.
Since 2012, Natyaradana has existed for one purpose: to teach classical art in its right form, and to shape individuals through its discipline, creativity and culture.
"Teach the art in the right form. Understand the learner. Help them grow. Inspire them to inspire others through the art."
From Chengalpattu to Chennai and now to learners around the world, that philosophy has never changed.

The Founder
Decades of Experience. A Thoughtful Approach to Every Learner.
Dr. Sripriya Kapisthalam — Kuchipudi Gold Medalist (1985), Natya Mayuri and Kavinkalai Narthaki — has taught for more than 25 years and trained over 400 students in Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi.
She does not teach every student in exactly the same way.
Each journey begins by understanding the learner — their needs, experience, pace, goals and aspirations — and then recommending the path that fits.
