Jathiswaraalaya Mylapore Chennai

Jathiswaraalaya was established in 1996 by Shri. P.R. Venkata Subramanian to make quality classical dance education affordable to even ordinary middle-class aspirants. Today this institution imparts training in Kathak, Bharathanatyam, Vocal music, Classical Music on Keyboard, Slokas and Theory of Dance and Music. Thus the product of Jathiswaraalaya comes out as a complete artiste fully confident in her style and performance with a touch of rare perfection. The institution has devised its technique of testing and examining the students at regular intervals giving the parents time to time feedback of their ward's progress. Short sessions are also conducted to train the parents in the basics of these art forms, which facilitate them, to monitor while the ward practices at home. Providing lyrics and music for various dance numbers, dance dramas (for both short term and long term aspirants) are taken care of by the Music Department of this institution while the Dance Department assists Choreography of dance sequences. The Music and dance research wing is yet another active half which comes out with rare themes by scanning through ancient history and mythology to suit young musicians and dancers. Guest lectures are also arranged periodically as morale boosters to the Jathiswaraalayans and their parents. These lectures give an insight into the arena of dance and music thus providing them with the latest updates in the fields, which they are often unaware of.
