Kalanidhi Dance is an internationally recognized D.C. area dance school and company that advances the Indian classical dance style of Kuchipudi in the U.S. arts landscape.

Kalanidhi Dance explores creative and contemporary ideas using the vocabulary of Kuchipudi while retaining the essence and integrity of the classical form. Trained in the rigors of the Vempati style, Kalanidhi Dance has gained the reputation of being one of the finest Kuchipudi ensembles in the country. Central to the company’s artistic philosophy is the belief that creativity is nourished through dialogue and interaction with other artists. Kalanidhi regularly collaborates with local and international partners of Indian classical dance and other genres of the performing arts as a way to extend the reach of the company, enrich the experience of the students and dancers, and push the boundaries of the art form.
