Bharatanatyam Dance Class in Pleasanton, CA

Dheem Thara Dance School was founded in 2013 by Sangeetha Neelankavil in Pleasanton, California. She currently has a school of about 30 students, of varying ages and levels. She focuses on unique choreography, technique, and abhinaya (dance expression) in order to help students deliver well-rounded performances. By involving her school in various ethnic events (Marathi Mandal, Telugu Saradaga O Sayantram, Hindi Diwali Dhamaka, Maya Bazar, FIA, Livermore Hindu Temple, Malayalam, Chinese and American), she seeks to further spread the joy of Indian culture among the Tri-Valley community. Sangeetha has learned 3 forms of Classical Indian Dance for decades under various gurus. Bharatnatyam, Kuchipudi and Mohiniyattam consist of her main studies, but she has been influenced by Kathak and Folk culture as well. Currently, she is focusing on the instruction of Bharatnatyam and Semi-Classical Dance (classically-based with influences of Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi and Mohiniyattam). Sangeetha’s vision is to inspire every one of her students to develop a passion for classical Indian dancing and preserve the culture for decades to come.

I am a Bharatanatyam dancer, teacher, and choreographer from India based in San Francisco for the past 4 years. I have been teaching kids this art form for over 9 years in India. My technical training of this art form was strengthened after having done my bachelor's degree from Nalanda Nritya Kala Mahavidyalaya. I believe dance cannot be learnt just by itself, so it is important for the kids to understand these various - Body strengthening - Prayers - Story-telling from Mythology and how it can be exhibited in dance - Talam It is a constant learning for me as a teacher as well. As much as a student gains from a class the teacher has learnt something new as well. It is a way of giving back to the cultural society from which I have gained so much. I am currently also training under Guru Shri Vaibhav Arekar from India and travel with his dance company across the globe and currently working as a freelancer with Nava Dance Theatre in San Francisco. I am available for private classes during the day or evenings (on an appointment basis).
