ABOUT ARUNODHAYA DANCE ACADEMY

Arunodhaya Dance Academy is dedicated to providing quality instruction in the classical Indian dance form of Bharathanatyam while fostering a love for culture, discipline, and artistic expression.
Founded by Mrs. Keetha Sellathurai and Mrs. Sashikala Sellathurai, the academy welcomes students of all ages and experience levels in a supportive and inspiring learning environment. Through structured training, students build a strong technical foundation while developing confidence, creativity, stage presence, and a deeper appreciation for the rich traditions of Bharathanatyam.

The academy follows a progressive curriculum that guides students from fundamental techniques through advanced repertoire and performance, preparing them for examinations, stage productions, and the milestone of Bharathanatyam Arangetram. Along the way, students are encouraged to embrace the values of dedication, respect, perseverance, and lifelong learning.

Beyond the classroom, Arunodhaya Dance Academy provides students with opportunities to perform at cultural festivals, community events, annual recitals, and charitable initiatives, allowing them to share their talents while building confidence and meaningful connections within the community.

At Arunodhaya Dance Academy, we believe Bharathanatyam is more than a dance—it is a journey of artistic growth, cultural discovery, and personal development that inspires students to carry its timeless traditions into future generations.

Arunodhaya Dance Academy operates under Arunodhaya Foundation, a federally incorporated Canadian not-for-profit organization committed to supporting arts education and accessible cultural programming within the community.
Together, the Academy and Foundation work to preserve traditional Indian classical dance while nurturing creativity, discipline, and personal development in students of all ages.
