Sharing our Art Straight from the Heart
Over the years, Kalapriya has provided educational programs throughout the City of Chicago. The programs have been presented in both formal and informal teaching environments and have included in-school residencies, workshops, after school programs, interactive presentations and assembly programs. Providing arts education for students from pre-K through 12th grade in Chicago’s schools is one of Kalapriya’s guiding principles and stated goals.
The University of Chicago Laboratory School, Kenwood Academy High School, Pershing Magnet School, Joyce Kilmer Elementary School, and Swift Specialty Elementary School, to name a few, have benefited from Kalapriya’s teaching programs and workshops.
The specially crafted programs with qualified teachers introduce the interdisciplinary art forms of Indian dance and music through storytelling while offering curricular links to language arts, global studies, music, history, and mathematics at age-appropriate levels. These programs are often customized with the educators to suit the school’s requirements.
Kalapriya’s education programs are mentally and physically challenging filled with rigor and copious amounts of fun. Join this growing community today!
