Nritya is an endeavor by Isha Bajaj to spread her love for Bharatnatyam and other classical Indian dance forms to students around the world.
Hi, my name is Isha Bajaj and I am a 10th grade student at Step by Step School. Over the last two years, I have led Nritya to revitalize and rejuvenate the Indian dance revolution. I have personally found so much solace, joy and comfort in my dance practice. I have danced professionally since I was 5 years old. At its core, Nritya solves a fundamental disparity in access of Indian dance coaching. Indian dance forms have existed for over 5,000 years and yet today, most kids in rural India have no access to dance teachers or any form of dance education. It saddens me that one of the greatest art forms in the world has been reduced to small dance centers in urban India. To revitalise dance education in rural India, I partnered with incredible non-profits and dance teachers to curate a dance curriculum that works for everyone.
