ABOUT OUR DANCE SCHOOL
Kala Bhavan of Calgary was founded in 1987 under the direction of Roma Thakore. We offer year-round classes and workshops, teaching traditional Bharatnatyam, folk and filmy dance styles of India.
Join us at KBC to take advantage of our professional instructors and welcoming community of dancers who love to share laughter and joy. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer looking to improve your technique, you can learn with us at KBC.
Our dance instructors focus on teaching the fundamentals of Bharatnatyam, beginning with basic positioning, steps and hand gestures, followed by choreographed items and facial expressions. Folk, fusion and filmy style dances are also taught when there is an opportunity to perform at community events.
