A traditional school of Bharatanatyam in the heart of Bengaluru, guiding each student to embrace the art, discipline, and spirit of Bharatanatyam — from the very first tatta adavu to a lifelong journey of learning, expression, and rootedness in tradition.
Deepali Ravi approaches Bharatanatyam as a deeply expressive art form where movement and abhinaya come together to convey emotion, meaning, and storytelling. Rooted in discipline, sensitivity, and reverence for its aesthetic and spiritual essence, her journey reflects a lifelong commitment to the art.
Based in Bangalore, she is the founder of Nadanam Dance Academy, where she mentors students with care and dedication, nurturing both technical precision and artistic depth. Several of her students have successfully completed their Arangetram under her guidance.
She holds a Master’s Degree in Bharatanatyam from Savitribai Phule Pune University under Guru Sucheta Bhide Chapekar and performed her Arangetram under Guru Manik Ambike. She has also trained under eminent gurus including Parvati Kumar, C. V. Chandrasekhar, Kanak Rele, and Vidhya Subramaniam.
Her artistic journey includes performances, teaching, lecture demonstrations, and recognition for her dedication to Bharatanatyam.
Yato hastastato dṛṣṭi
yato dṛṣṭistato manaḥ
yato manaḥstato bhāvo
yato bhāvastato rasaḥ.
Where the hand is, the eyes follow. Where the eyes are, the mind goes. Where the mind goes, feeling arises. Where feeling is, rasa is born.
