Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts

Hema conducted a wonderful workshop for my family and friends and me. The workshop was tailored to suit adults and kids. All of us were fully engaged throughout. We were just amazed at Hema’s skill, strength and flexibility. Highly recommend Attakkalari!

Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts has been one of the foundational and most influential places for contemporary dance in India. The centre has been able to visualise and achieve a fresh outlook towards how dance can be practiced, created and taught in India. This centre, despite varying circumstances, has always aimed at investing time for dance, fostering global collaborations and striving for rigour and quality in training. It has provided courage to many, including myself, to work on their dance, keep evolving the perception of the same and find interdisciplinary avenues for art and performance making.

I was a student of Attakkalari's diploma in movement arts 2018-19. My journey at attakkalari is very memorable, a experience I'm grateful for. The course provided a very strong foundation for my art practice, along with the tools and discipline required to be a contemporary dance professional. Highly recommend the course to all aspiring contemporary dancers in India.

I was a part of the Attakkalari team for 2 months as a YES Fellow. The creativity that I saw there was very new to me. The trust and faith that was shown to me as an intern proves the work culture there. The learning experience was great and I saw a huge growth in me not only in terms of professional but in my personal life also. Thank you Attakkalari & YES Foundation for giving me this beautiful opportunity.

This is a place inspires dancers. The studio, teachers, staff and everything is centred around dance. The place offers something to everyone from kids class to community class to marshal arts and attakkalari has one of the first and best diploma program for dance in the region.

I pursued my Diploma in movement arts and mixed media In 2021 from Attakkalari centre for movement arts Bangalore and am ashtonished to where I have reached in my professional journey as a dancer. Attakkalari gave me means and principles to understand dance and arts in a Their course is physically challenging but essential as i became a really strong dancer in technique and physicality. Intectual growth of inquiry and experimentation, understanding history was a big part of my learning from Attakkalari.
I am now confidently moving forward to pursue my further education in dance with all the support from Attakkalari and having optamism in my training. I am grateful to this space and the beutiful people of this organisation and especially Jay sir.
