Guhendran is a talented Bharatanatyam Dance exponent from ‘BHARATHA CHOODAMANI”, Chennai, South India. Guhendran had his initial training in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Following his initial training, he completed a Diploma certification in Bharatanatyam & Nattuvangam at ‘NRUTHYA KSHETRA’ under the tutelage of Guru Smt. Nirutha Sorubi Tharma Kulendran. With a prime vision of preserving cultural values in the field of fine arts today, ‘Jegatheeswaralaya Fine Arts Training Centre’ was founded in 1995. As a registered art institute in Canada, Jegatheeswaralaya not only aims at promoting Kalakshetra style of “Bharatanatyam”, an Indian classical dance form, but also focuses on the intricacies of this profound form of art. ‘Jegatheeswaralaya Fine Arts Training Centre’ is the brainchild of an eminent dancer couple and two visionaries – Sri. Guhendran and Smt. Lushanthini. They envisioned aspects like ‘quality’, ‘perfection’ and ‘motivation’ as the guiding principles of Jegatheeswaralaya Fine Arts Training centre. Training: We are keen on training kids (boys and girls) as young as 5 years old until adults who are passionate about Bharatanatyam. We conduct both group and one -on-one classes. We pay individual attention to those who lack understanding of basic rhythm, flexibility, posture, and movement. We prepare students to perform with a basic understanding of this divine art form and train them to be confident performers. We encourage exercise and stretching to gain flexibility and strength required to learn Bharatanatyam at the beginning of every lesson. It is imperative for every student to know the technicalities associated with movement to avoid injuries while dancing. We motivate and train students to be successful dancers and performers. Dance training involves two components: practical and theory. Syllabus and course materials are provided. Examinations are conducted annually which are graded. Certificates are provided on successful completion of course work.
