Enrolling in the Mudhrai’s Abhinaya course was one of the best decisions I’ve made as some who trained in Bharathnatyam as a kid and has been wanting to restart my dance journey actively as an adult. The course was very thoughtfully curated and easy to navigate for an advanced beginner level dancer. Also, the instructors were very patient and motivating. They guided me to work on myself and brought out my strengths within the course’s timeframe. I saw significant improvement in my dance form by the end of the course.

I joined a Bharatanatyam class to brush up on my basics, and it was such a wonderful experience. The classes were thoughtfully planned, and the teacher was incredibly patient and calm. She explained everything so clearly, and her deep knowledge of the dance form really stood out. I felt comfortable and supported throughout the lessons, and it made relearning such a joy. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn or reconnect with Bharatanatyam!

Niranjana is a consummate professional. Having been to her shows, I can attest to her incredible grasp of the artform. Mudhrai is a welcome addition to the inclusive, multi-cultural landscape of Dharamshala. You can attend the classes in person at their Rakkar studio (highly recommended), or opt for online sessions. Either way, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the power of Bharatnatyam to change you inside and out!

I used to be a Bharatanatyam dancer for years as a child but i lost touch of the art. Mudhrai helped me regain my love for dance and Bharatanatyam. Niranjana ma'am is a patient and dedicated teacher and a wonderful dancer as well. I would definitely recommend Mudhrai to anyone who wishes to start or restart dancing but feel that their busy schedules don't allow that.

My daughter is 6 years old and she is attending Bharatnatyam classes with Niranjana. My daughter loves to learn with her because Niranjana is an incredible teacher, she knows how to attend the needs of the children and how to teach them properly in this beautiful classical dance. It´s not easy to teach this classical dance because it needs so much discipline. But Niranjana has found the balance between discipline and have fun learning. She is a lovely woman who loves to teach others and share her knowledge. She is a wonderful dancer. If you want to learn this amazing classical dance, Niranjana is the best teacher that you can find for many reasons, specially for her love to this beautiful dance and for her capacity to teach in skilfull way to children and adults. I highly recommend Niranjana like a teacher of Bharatnatyam dance

Mudharai natyam space is a very special personal space for my daughter. It is always cloud Nine for her during her dance classes.

The teachers are so kind , funny and patient. They are very knowledgeable yet very much grounded while interacting with students. Personal thanks from my daughter to Niranjana mam and Janani mam.

They offer online classes with the same personal attention as in-person direct classes.

For someone who didn’t know where to start my bharatanatyam journey, a passionate teacher was all I needed. Niranjana and Mudhrai was the one I was searching for. The online classes have been on time and very professional, also very interactive. So I highly recommend anyone who wants to start their bharathanatyam journey to consider Mudhrai 😊

I recently joined a Bharatnatyam class at Mudrai and it has been an incredible experience! The instructor is not only highly skilled but also passionate about sharing the rich history and techniques of this beautiful dance form.

The supportive atmosphere makes it easy to learn and grow, whether you’re a beginner or have some experience. Though I mostly joined to explore and work on my fitness, I love how Niranjana emphasizes both technique and expression, helping me connect with the art on a deeper level.

I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in exploring Bharatnatyam. It’s a wonderful way to engage with culture, improve fitness, and enjoy the joy of dance!
