Shree Academy of Arts

Learning from a senior guru like Dr. Anita Vallabh is a rare, cherished experience for our students each year, offering them direct access to an extraordinary artistic lineage. Experiences like these deepen their training, broaden their perspective, and connect them to the living tradition of Bharatanatyam beyond the classroom. We are honoured to facilitate such meaningful encounters that inspire the next generation of dancers to carry the torch forward.

As FIFA comes to a close, we’re reflecting on how special it was for Shree Academy to present our soccer-inspired Bharatanatyam fusion performance.

We were honored to be invited by the One World Festival to perform at Lancaster City’s Soccer Block Party on June 12th. Inspired by the FIFA World Cup game the U.S. played that day, and paying homage to local soccer star Christian Pulisic, we set out to bridge the gap between classical dance and the beautiful game.

Blending the intricate footwork of Bharatanatyam with the movement of football allowed us to create a piece full of rhythm, footwork, and team spirit.

The second edition of our Bharatanatyam Introductory Program is officially around the corner! Whether you’ve always wanted to explore this classical art form or are taking your very first step into dance, this 8-week program is designed to guide you through the foundations.

Late post, but this was too special not to share ❤️

We had the opportunity to perform at Linglestown Middle School on May 18 for their multicultural day and it was such a beautiful reminder of why events like this matter.

for students from so many backgrounds, having a space where they can celebrate who they are – without shrinking, hiding or feeling judged - is powerful!

We were grateful to be part of the day that brought students together through culture movement and share joy.

And of course, real performance day moments included one broken shoe sole, one churro, one slice of pizza, and a lot of laughter.

Thank you to Linglestown Middle School, the principal Mr. Porter and the wonderful team who invited us to be part of such a meaningful celebration of community.

When soccer meets Bharatanatyam…⚽️

We’ve been having so much fun experimenting with this new soccer vs. dance concept for Lancaster’s Official International Soccer Watch Party and Festival this Friday.

Come see Shree Academy of Arts perform Friday, June 12 at Ewell Plaza & Binns Park in Downtown Lancaster!

Rain or shine. We’ll see you there!

Our students presented a 30 minute Bharatanatyam program at SVV temple’s Navarasam celebration.

For years, I have shared the stage with many of these dancers. On May 17th I got to watch them carry the program themselves - with confidence, focus, and ownership.

Moments like these remind me that dance is about so much more than steps. It is about watching students grow into capable, expressive young artists.

Very proud of this group and grateful to SVV temple for the opportunity to share this art form with the community. ❤️

behind every performance is a whole lot of love 🤍

from fixing jewelry, to helping backstage, to cheering from the audience — none of this happens alone.

grateful for all the moms who make these moments possible, and grateful to have spent Mother’s Day performing at the Harrisburg Area Tamil Sangam New Year celebration today.

happy mother’s day to all the amazing moms in our Shree Academy family ✨
