About the Guru

Dr. Praveena Vajja is the owner and director of Natyom Dance Academy. She specializes in Bharatanatyam and has extensive training in Kuchipudi and Kathak. She has trained, performed, and taught dance for over forty years. Natyom Dance Academy's core curriculum develops a foundation of Bharatanatyam for all students. The basis allows students to easily pick up other forms of Indian Classical and Modern Dance. Dr. Praveena's core belief is, "It should not matter whether a student is five years old or fifty years old, all students should be able to approach the art form with discipline. This will allow them to strengthen their bodies, minds, and have fun learning."
