Nrityagram
Set up by danseuse Protima Gauri Bedi, Nrityagram trains dancers in Kathak, Bharatanatyam and Odissi. This residential dance school is modelled in the ancient gurukul tradition. Much of the charm of Nrityagram lies in its architecture – designed by Gerard da Cunha, the school is styled like a village, with thatched-roof mud buildings and plenty of greenery. An added bonus is the excellent residential options nearby, including the ethinically designed Taj Kuteeram next door and the eco-resort, Our Native Village.
Distance: 30 Km.
Direction: Take NH 4 out of Bangalore and turn right at the 8th milestone to cross Hesaraghatta and reach Nrityagram.
