About Nrityagram Dance Village

Inaugurated in 1990, founded by the late and gifted danseuse Protima Gauri, the Nrityagram dance village is located outside Bangalore, India, on ten acres of farmland, which were converted into a setting for the study, practice and teaching of dance. At Nrityagram, dance is a way of life, where dancers from all over the world live in an atmosphere that nurtures artistic exploration and development. Reminiscent of ancient ashrams where gurus imparted a philosophy, it is a creative space where dancers, musicians and choreographers share their skills to develop their art.
