The Prayukti Dance School is an initiative started by Nitya to share her art, training and values. It also serves as a way to promote and retain art and culture in the Bay Area. Nitya currently has her dance school - Prayukti in the California Bay Area where she practices and teaches. She also works as the Programming Director of the Raadha Kalpa Dance Company and handles all of the company’s foreign tours and programs. In her formative years, she trained under Guru Suma Mani, Chennai and trained in the Vazhoor style of bharatanatyam. A graceful, enthusiastic and passionate dancer, Nitya completed her arangetram (debut, solo performance) in the year 2003 under Smt Suma following which she did many group and solo performances in Chennai’s esteemed platforms like Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Narada Ghana Sabha, Kamaraj Hall, RR Sabha to name a few. Nitya’s interest and passion for movement and dance led her to pursue the Post Diploma program in Movement Arts and Media from the Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts, where she graduated with honors. In this course, she was exposed to various kinds of movement vocabulary like Contemporary Dance, Kalaripayattu, Chaau and Ballet. She also gained an understanding of many other subjects that support dance and performance like Stage and Lighting, Pedagogy and Approach to Choreography through the course of this program. Nitya has also done a few short courses/workshops in theatre and acting under some eminent names like Anmol Vellani, Prakash Belawadi and Ronlin Foreman. Her love for the arts also got her involved with the LshVa Art Space, Bangalore for over 2 years where she played an integral role as an Art Manager in organizing various art events, festivals, classes and workshops. This led to interactions with many artists and spreading the love of arts to the community.
