Exploring the complex tapestries of
Indian Classical Dance

The Kalapriya Dance Company exemplifies founder and choreographer Harini’s bold, yet curious vision of exploring and bending the barriers within [and beyond] Bharatanatyam through the complexities of fusion choreography. 
Founded in 2025, The Kalapriya Dance Company offers professional training and performance opportunities for Indian classical dancers ages 18+.

Dedicated training at the Kalapriya Center for the Indian Performing Arts focuses on building and learning the intricacies of technique and abhinaya, while promoting the exploration of new movement.

KPDC maintains a focus on Bharatanatyam technique, while still providing dancers the opportunity to train in other parallel dance disciplines.

  • Full length: 20 min - 1+ hours
    Short sets: Under 15 min
    Works-in-progress

    Our main style of dance is rooted in Bharatanatyam, with influences from Kuchipudi, Odissi, and Indian folk dances.

    We also offer Indian Fusion pieces and choreography, stemming from Harini’s movement exploration.

  • Succinctly? Everywhere

    We believe in bringing dance as a unifier to events, so we are not limited in our approach.

    The KPDC is available for booking for live amphiheatre venues, corporate performances, film festivals, outdoor or indoor music/dance festivals, etc.

  • Do you hold auditions to join the Company?

    Typically yes, audition season commences next year for Capsule 2. We will hold our auditions in person, and will also have an online submission method.

    What are the skillsets required for one to join the company?

    A strong grasp of Bharatanatyam or Kuchipudi, the ability to adapt to other dance forms, an open mind, discipline and prioritizing health, and a great sense of humor.
