Natyanjali Kuchipudi Dance School
Srilatha Suri began teaching several students through her dance School, Natyanjali Kuchipudi Dance School, since 1999 in
College Station, then California and presently in Plano, Frisco and Irving.
Approach
The classes are taught in small groups with full focus and attention on all the students.
All the students will be given a chance to perform in annual day if they have enrolled from the beginning of fall semester.
Students also will be given chance in school productions and events organized by local organizations according to their
ability. This is to encourage them to get a good amount of stage experience required in the training.
After completing their training, students will perform their graduation recital or Rangapravesam, a solo debut dance.
In addition, Srilatha Suri organizes summer workshops. These are conducted by eminent teachers for the students who are
interested.
Natyanjali maintains high standards and quality in teaching, and in performances.
