Students - Sridevi Nrithyalaya
(Bharathanatyam)
Sridevi Nrithyalaya is a dance school based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The school was founded in 1987 and operates as a trust. The main aim of the institution is to support and promote the southern Indian classical dance form Bharathanatayam. It specialises in Melattur style of Bharathanayam. Sridevi Nrithyalaya (SDN) which specialises in the Melattur style of Bharathanatyam, was founded in 1987 with strong encouragement from Smt. Sheela Unnikrishnan’s parents - Smt. Suguna and Sri Ayyappan. Sridevi Nrithyalaya is run by SRIDEVI NRITHYALAYA TRUST and has an advisory board of senior artistes and well wishers supervising the artistic activities of the institution. TRAINING: The founder and the Principal Teacher of the school, Dr. Smt. Sheela Unnikrishnan believes that dance is a divine art form that requires more than a lifetime to learn. And since every student has a varying ability and a different capacity to understand and learn this art, she believes in teaching with individual attention. Therefore, in Sridevi Nrithyalaya, there are no designed courses for training. Progress of every student is determined by the student's own achievements. Achievements are assessed for every student by the Teachers through observation in regular classes through proper attendance, regularity in practice, moral behaviour, sincere efforts to attain perfection in presentation, receptiveness in learning etc.
