Noopura School of Bharatanatyam was founded by Smt.Anila Haridas. The mission of the school is to preserve and practice this traditional art in its authentic form. We teach, train and inspire young children and adults to discover grace through Bharatanatyam. Our classes focus on ‘practical’ and ‘theory’ of Bharatanatyam as we believe both these aspects are equally important to appreciate this art form. Noopura School of Bharatanatyam has been in teaching service for 11 years in India and USA(Atlanta). Over the course we have conducted many Arangetrams and our students have performed at various prestigious dance programs. Our institution believes that age is not a barrier to achieve your goal. Noopura ladies’ batch is one of our biggest strength. We have a good number of ladies group learning in our institution. All students get a chance to perform for the annual recital that is conducted. Apart from the recitals, our students regularly perform at cultural associations and festivals.

GROUP CLASS
Group Classes are held at our Studio Location. The class is modeled on learning and practicing in small batches. Student in group class share their knowledge and practice together. It helps students to find motivation and inspiration in learning from peer groups. A great way to get physically active and meet people. Ideal for students who love to learn with friends.
PRIVATE CLASS
Private Classes are held at our Studio location or any convenient space or online. As private classes are conducted on 1:1 basis, the trainer can focus their attention completely on the student. With a fewer distractions, the trainer is better able to appreciate and work on a student’s weak point, making the whole learning process more effective.
ONLINE CLASS
Online classes are effective for students who cannot travel to our studio location. By preferring online classes, you choose your own learning environment which works better for your needs. For students having a busy schedule, this helps save a lot of time as you don’t have to commute for the classes. We have students enrolled in online classes from time zones.

Testimonials
"I joined Noopura School of Bharatanatyam in 2017 and was a part of first ladies batch, Since then it became a part of my life. A big thanks to Anila for a creating such a special experience for all of us. You treat and teach everybody with lots of patience and love."
My daughters are currently learning Bharatanatyam online from Mrs. Anila Haridas. My younger daughter, Sriya, started learning online from Mrs.Anila one year ago and she has really enjoyed her classes. At first I was not sure that online classes would be effective but after her classes with Mrs.Anila started, Sriya really loved the classes. The online lessons have been more effective than her previous in-person classes with other instructors.My older daughter, Sneha, also joined to learn Bharatanatyam from Mrs.Anila this year and she has been very pleased with her classes. Mrs.Anila is very knowledgeable,patient, and organized when teaching Bharatanatyam. She explains the art and concepts of Bharatanatyam very clearly in a way that my daughters can easily remember. Her teaching method involves in-depth explanations and storytelling which my daughters find very interesting and they look forward to each class. In addition, Mrs.Anila emphasizes the correct points of each posture and movements in Bharatanatyam so my daughters can learn the art of Bharatnatyam in an authentic way. I am very happy with choosing Mrs.Anila as my daughters' online Bharatanatyam teacher. I definitely recommend her as a Bharatanatyam dance teacher.
I have been studying Bharatanatyam for over four decades and have had over a dozen gurus yet none so well-rounded as Anila Haridas. When I moved to Atlanta and sought out dance instruction, Noopura Nrithavidyalaya was my only choice after researching the many options this area offers. Anila has the utmost authenticity of a Bharatanatyam guru, plus the academic and technical expertise to teach this art. Since I have been dancing for so long she welcomes my individualistic style in the adult group and private classes I take. I've also witnessed her other students all thriving under Anila's tutelage with a shared passion for Bharatanatyam and the Indian culture. I am so grateful Noopura Nrithavidyalaya has been offering online instruction because from now on, wherever I am, I can remain a student of this very special school of dance.
"One can certainly feel the drive and motivation to pursue this art(Bharatham) regardless of age factors through her classes. I am grateful to Guru Anila for making it happen with online sessions for adults batch and teaching beyond just dancing. I have completely enjoyed attending past sessions and will surely do so moving forward."
"I have been learning Bharatanatyam under the tutelage of Ms.Anila for almost two years now(Adult batch).She is a gifted dancer with lot of patience in teaching her students.Huge thanks to her for being so supportive and encouraging to all of us. During this pandemic, weekly one hour class is really a stressbuster to boost our minds and to be happy. Noopura school of Bharatanatyam is the perfect place for those who are search of a good dance school !"
"Anila is very talented and experienced dance teacher. She is very dedicated to her profession and has been doing a great job teaching kids of all ages and even adults those who are passionate on learning dance. She is very patient with kids and adults and do not hesitate to repeat the adavus to make sure you learn it the right way. I am learning here and also sending my girl for classes. Online classes seems to be highly productive than regular classes but we definitely miss the fun when we meet all friends at dance class in person. Highly recommend joining Noopura dance school and Anila if you have something for dance."
