Surbhi Verma and Priyasha Jain — co-founders of Nrityadhee

An Ode to Kathak, Crafted by Two Devotees

Nrityadhee was born out of friendship, discipline and a shared faith in the quiet power of classical dance. Founded by Surbhi Verma and Priyasha Jain — both MA-qualified Kathak artists trained in the rigorous Jaipur Gharana — the academy is a space where tradition is honoured, and expression is set free.

"Tradition is not preserved — it is danced."

From foundational footwork to performance-level mastery, our students journey through Kathak, Semi-Classical, Bollywood and Folk — at our Jaipur studio and online, across India.
