Anjali Hariharan Bharatanatyam Teacher and Performer
No reviews yet

If you’ve ever felt like you’re just doing steps and not truly experiencing the dance, my classes are for you.

Hi, I’m Anjali, a Bharatanatyam dancer and teacher based in Chennai, with over 6 years of teaching experience. I have been a performer for over 20 years, training under Smt. Anitha Guha at Bharathanjali.

My classes focus on building a strong foundation in adavus, alignment, and rhythm, while also introducing abhinaya in a way that feels natural and accessible. I work closely with each student to help them move beyond just learning steps, towards becoming more aware, confident, and expressive dancers.

I also place importance on body awareness through structured warm-up and cool-down practices, ensuring ease and strength in movement. Sessions are personalised to suit each student’s pace, creating a supportive space, especially for those who feel shy or stuck in their dance.

I teach beginners and intermediate students through one-on-one and small group sessions, and also prepare interested students for performances.

Online classes are available across time zones.
