Nrityakosh - School of Belly Dance

I was just looking to spend my weekends more productively & came upon Nrityakosh via Instagram ad. I am trained in Kathak & have been dancing since childhood but in the last few years I couldn’t find time for myself to keep dancing. So I would mostly attend dance workshops over the weekend. Went in for Nrityakosh’s trial class as well & immediately got hooked. Now I am a dedicated student here for almost a year. The teachers of Nrityakosh are very patient & knowledgeable. They teach each & every student so well & instill in us a sense of belonging. Nrityakosh is more than a dance school for me, It’s a community & safe place for dancers who love to express themselves. The director of this school Debapriya is an excellent teacher & an inspiration to all of us. I definitely recommend everyone to start your journey with belly dancing. It’s a discipline in itself that will bring out the best of you.

I’ve been a student at Nirtyakosh for over a year now, and it has been such an empowering and fulfilling experience. The instructors are incredibly supportive, patient, and passionate about what they do. I’ve learned so much during this time—not just technique, but also confidence and self-expression through dance. What I love most about Nirtyakosh is the community they’ve built. It’s fun, welcoming, and truly uplifting, where everyone encourages each other to grow. Training with them has been an amazing journey, and I’m so grateful to be part of such a positive and empowering space.

Nrityakosh is not just another dance school, its a family <3 Its been 6 months I am a part and I absolutely.. truly love it. All the teachers are very knowledgeable. The classes are so well managed; workshops and haflas so well organised. Looking forward to spending years here learning and thriving ❣️

Did the intro beginner class of 2 months with nrityakosh. Dinesh is a wonderful teacher, calm, patient with all the repeat practice that we needed to get the choreography. It was a fun experience to create own student led choreo for a few beats and it just became a full performing piece! A place where one can just be oneself and enjoy the dancing without any inhibition.

This is one of the best belly dance classes in Bangalore. The teachers are so so warm and welcoming. There’s no way you would want to miss any class because each class is designed in a manner that it’s both full of fun and learning. The concepts taught by Rituparna are crisp and clear. She gives personal attention to each and every student and ensures that all the techniques are grasped properly. I haven’t found a better dance teacher yet. She’s truly the best.

I started my belly dance journey with Nrityakosh in March 2021. Being a complete non dancer I was quite skeptical about being able to pull it off. But Debapriya is an amazing teacher with lots of knowledge about the dance form. Her techniques are dope and I've seen visible changes in my body over the year.The best part is they make sure that along with the techniques you get a taste of the culture and history of oriental dance. I'm glad I found Nrityakosh and really looking forward to learning more with you guys.

Ritu is not only a great dancer but also a wonderful trainer who makes learning a truly positive experience. Her empathetic nature and soft-spoken demeanor create a safe, encouraging space where everyone feels comfortable. She helps people accept and love their bodies while guiding them with patience and skill. Truly an inspiration both on and off the dance floor.

One of the best belly dance classes in Bangalore that I know of. I loved how organized the teaching is (especially for beginners as we don't have much knowledge but they provide a detailed theoretical knowledge as well as practical sessions which help us understand well) and the instructors are so helpful and supportive. I was amazed by their performances in shows, so graceful yet so powerful and I can't wait to learn more belly dance and be a part of them. Thank you Nrityakosh for such an amazing experience.

Nrityakosh is an excelled place to learn belly dance. I first got introduced to them through their captivating shows like Safar-E-Raqs, Papusza, and Arabian Nights. The performances by the talented dancers left a strong impression on me, sparking a desire to learn the art myself. Since joining their classes, I've been impressed by their structured teaching approach, which is especially helpful for beginners like me. I love how they teach with clear explanations. The instructors are super supportive, especially Madhu—graceful yet powerful. Nrityakosh has provided me with an enriching dance experience, and I'm sincerely grateful for the opportunity to learn from them. Highly recommend!

Debapriya is a phenomenal teacher. She is truly well-versed in all aspects of the dance curriculum, and I thoroughly appreciate that her teaching is balanced and well-rounded, too. Students will practice and learn drills, choreography, musicality, and history as well...all equally important components of dance. Debapriya has an abundance of patience and will break movements down for all to understand, however she also challenges us so we can strive to push our dancing to new levels. I highly recommend this dance school to anyone who is interested!

It was my dream come TRUE to learn oriental style of dancing from best teachers at Nrityakosh. When so much of stigma is attached to men doing belley , I felt so welcomed at Nrityakosh. I was introduced to so many aspects of oriental style of dancing. I also was a part of two shows and we had great time We focus so much on technique and fitness aspect of dancing Debapriya and her teachers are so well trained ,this was my best dancing experience.

Since 2012 ,I have been learning belly dance under various dance schools in Bangalore.But it is only last year i took the decision to move to Nrityakosh and this has been the best experience so far . Debapriya is by far the most dedicated and inspiring dancer I have ever met.She has very good knowledge of techniques and is deeply committed to teaching her students.Her music choice is excellent and I always enjoy the dance classes as they are very refreshing. I will continue to being part of Nrityakosh for as long as I can :)

I have been searching for a good belly dance class from past some years, I got it after 2 years searching .. But what I got now is a Blessing for me. I am student here from last 2022 August I have finished my beginner level and continuing the level 2. The teachers are amazing 🤩 their teaching methods are different, they make sure we understand the concept of the belly dance technicalities and musicality.Also the students are given more exposure like performing on stage. overall its a best place to learn belly dance who really want to learn❤️❤️.

I have been with Nrityakosh for more than 5 month and totally loving my dance journey. Being a non dancer whole my life, i never knew a dance form can give me such confidence and new perspective about myself. Classes are fun with focus on teaching right techniques. posture correction drills are USP for me. Thanku Nrityakosh i am glad I found you and looking forward to more dance fun with you.

It has been a wonderful journey with Nrityakosh since Jan 2020. I started from Beginner + Intermediate belly dance student and found myself disoriented for some time. School has good level of content to challenge us at every level. Things which make Nrityakosh different are - highly professional teachers, well planned - interesting - challenging classes, long enough sessions, very reasonable fees. Debapriya exposes us to various dance forms from Belly Dance domain. There is a goal for each module and we are pushed a lot, a lot. There is so much to learn, to practice that I have never ever felt bored in last 1.5 years. Recent module of Stretch & Strength, a combination of Yoga and dance exercises is wonderful and taught well. All the Belly Dance forms and S&S Yoga are influenced by many dance forms Debapriya has been trained in, making student's journey versatile. Personally, I feel that I am getting trained in a well defined manner and have good exposure. My dance friends are amazing who are very good dancers as well. We get ample opportunities to perform on stage even in COVID times. Teachers are amazing, very much available for our doubts. I love their work as a team and the positivity they spread :) Recent dance recital MOVE was a thrilling piece of 50 min. Wonderful story telling via continuous dancing for 50 min :) :) :) I am so fortunate to join Nrityakosh at right time. Just try it once, you won't regret it. Trust me :)

Debapriya is an excellent teacher who has been doing great work in classical and fusion bellydance in India! It has been a great learning experience with Nrityakosh for me. The classes are super fun, interesting and challenging at the same time. Debapriya teaches with great patience and explains all aspects like techniques, musicality, choreography and history in her classes. Her immense knowledge in various dance forms make her fusion classes especially interesting :) I would definitely recommend Nrityakosh to anyone who is interested in learning dance ♥️

I've been learning Belly dancing from Debapriya since January 2019 and I literally can see so much changes in my body not only in terms of dancing but also with stamina, strength and fitness. The quality of her teaching is topnotch and I think she's one of the best teachers ever. Hope to learn more and more and never want to stop dancing.

I have been taking belly dance classes by Nrityakosh for around three months now and am very happy with the experience. The teachers are very professional and spend a lot of time on the techniques and Also pepper the classes with the history of the dance form. Batch sizes are enough to allow for individual attention and focus . I look forward to continuing my dance journey with the lovely team !

I've been doing both the belly dance and stretch and flexibility online courses under Debapriya. Can't explain how happy I am that I joined nrityakosh. I see such a tremendous change in my movements when it comes to grace and flow. Her drills have made me less stiff. Each class is packed with so many techniques, layering, stretches to help you improve and take your dancing to the next level. With tremendous patience she teaches and corrects the moves of each one of us so that the whole batch learns and moves together. Added bonus you also get a brief explanation on the origins of the dance form or moves which shows the passion with which she passes on her skills. 😊

Nrityakosh stands out when compared to other belly dance schools in Bangalore in many ways . Firstly its structured module based intensive trainings which help students to acquire the knowledge and training in a systematic approach . Secondly its productions, haflas and other projects that run through out the academic year which gives an opportunity to put the learning into good use . Most importantly the professional environment that Deba and her team of instructors provide . Classes are regularly conducted, no deviations , unplanned changes ,last minute cancellations etc . Lot of importance is given on learning the culture and history behind the art which makes it even more intriguing . I have been part of other dance schools as well but have not seen such level of consistency in teaching which makes it so much interesting and challenging to learn . Finally Deba leads by example , which inspires the students to grow.
