Online Bharatanatyam Classes in Montreal
Bharatanatyam online, with the teacher watching the feet
Most children who give up Bharatanatyam give up in the second year, when the items get harder and the aramandi underneath them was never really built. A recorded video can show a child the steps of an alarippu. It cannot see that the knees have drifted inwards or that the heels are lifting, and a habit like that, repeated for a year, is very hard to undo.

Bharatanatyam online, with the teacher watching the feet
Our online batches are live and small, and every child dances with the whole body in frame. The teacher watches the posture, the feet and the hands and corrects them during the adavu, not at the end of the month. It is the same Kalakshetra-style syllabus we teach in person at HSR Layout, so families in Montreal learn the dance properly rather than a simplified version for the screen.
In Montreal most immigrant children are schooled in French by law, so an Indian family here is often raising a child in French at school, English at work and an Indian language at home. Parents tell us an English-medium class that ties the scriptures back to their own family language is the piece that is otherwise missing.
Live teaching with cameras on, never a library of recorded videos
The aramandi and adavus built first, in the traditional order
Every adavu danced in three speeds, so rhythm is never bolted on later
Batches small enough that every child is corrected in every class

Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For online bharatanatyam classes that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to what they can already do.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.
3. Pick a slot that survives the school week
We place your child in a batch built for ET. Weekday 6:30 to 8:00 PM Eastern and Saturday morning Eastern, shared with Toronto and Ottawa..
“The storytelling program transformed my shy son. Last month he confidently narrated a Panchatantra tale at his school assembly. The mentors are patient, warm and world-class.”
