Bharathakalai’s Vision

WHAT THE DANCE SCHOOL STANDS FOR

PRESERVING THE BEAUTY IN CULTURE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME

OUR MISSION

REMAINS CONSTANT

Guru Jayshree has dedicated nearly four decades to making Bharathanatyam accessible by highlighting its spiritual essence. She believes that when a dancer surrenders to the art with love, they create a powerful, shared immersion with the audience.

Bhrarathakalai’s mission is to preserve this ancient tradition by inspiring even a single student to experience the profound beauty and unity that the dance offers.


Given the historical beginnings of our dance form, we dancers truly believe our dance is a spiritual practice.  The mind, the body and the soul come together as one to communicate with the rasik - the audience, who are then able to assimilate the emotions coming out of the dancer and in return get immersed in those very emotions to take that joint spiritual journey.

  • Bharathanatyam is an accepting dance form, it does not discriminate on age, gender, ability, religion or nationality!

  • My mission is to create a lifelong love for this dance in my student base, that is how we will preserve this ancient art form.

  • Dance is a complete yoga, wherein the practitioner is forced to immerse themselves completely in their dance.
