ANIITA

Dance Rooted in Culture, Elevated by Grace.

Dance Rooted in Culture, Elevated by Grace.

I’m ANIITA, the founder of Lasya Performing Arts. I’ve been dancing for over 23 years, trained in Bharatanatyam and various Indian fusion styles.

My journey with dance started as a child, and has grown into a lifelong love for the rhythm, emotion, and storytelling that classical dance brings.

Lasya was born out of a desire to share this art with others in a nurturing, fun, and authentic space.

Whether you’re just beginning or rekindling your love for dance, I can’t wait to welcome you to our community.

The name Lasya itself means grace. the essence of dance that flows through every step we take.

Our logo brings this meaning to life. The lotus, a symbol of purity and beauty, represents growth and blossoming through art. And the MUDRA, woven into the design, reflects our deep connection to tradition, storytelling, and expression.

Together, they embody what Lasya stands for: a space where movement becomes grace, tradition meets creativity, and every dancer blooms.

We’re proud to present our logo, and with it, a renewed vision for sharing the joy of dance.

  • 1. What style of dance do you teach?
    We primarily teach Bharatanatyam, a classical Indian dance form.

    2. Do I need prior dance experience to join?
    Not at all! Our classes are open to complete beginners as well as those with previous dance training.

    3. What should I wear to class?
    Comfortable clothing you can move in is best. For Bharatanatyam, leggings or salwar bottoms with a fitted top work well. As you progress, we’ll guide you on traditional attire if needed.

    4. Do I need to buy bells (salangai) right away?
    No. Beginners don’t need bells immediately — we’ll let you know when you’re ready for them.

    5. How big are the classes?
    We keep class sizes small to ensure every student gets individual attention.

    6. Do you offer trial classes?
    Yes! Your first class is complimentary so you can experience the teaching style before enrolling.

    7. Are there performance opportunities?
    Yes, students are encouraged to take part in showcases and cultural events throughout the year — but participation is always optional.

    8. How often are the classes held?
    Currently, classes run weekly (with age-based groups). Special workshops may be added during the year.

    9. Can adults start Bharatanatyam, or is it only for kids?
    Absolutely — it’s never too late to begin! Many of our students are adults who are reconnecting with dance or discovering it for the first time.

    10. What values do you emphasise in teaching?
    Beyond steps and technique, we focus on discipline, respect, and joy in learning — creating a safe, supportive space for everyone.

HARINI

"I've been learning Bharatanatyam at Lasya Performing Arts with Aniita, and honestly, she's one of the best teachers I've ever had. She makes every class feel welcoming and comfortable, no matter your experience level. She's incredibly detail-oriented and explains everything so clearly — not just the steps, but the meaning and theory behind them too. You can tell how passionate she is, and that energy really rubs off on you. I love how she blends tradition with a fun and supportive vibe. So grateful to be learning from her!"

MAHIMA

“Learning Bharatanatyam at Lasya Performing Arts with Aniita is something I genuinely look forward to every week. She’s really patient and pays close attention to our form, making sure we get the technique right. What sets her apart is how she takes her time to teach thoroughly, breaking down the theory behind the dance in a way that makes it easy to understand and connect with. You can tell she truly cares about each student’s improvement, and the creative and supportive energy in every lesson makes the experience so much more enjoyable. I’ve definitely improved a lot since I started, and I’d recommend her classes to anyone wanting to learn Bharatanatyam”
