Now enrolling for the current fall quarter. Whether you are continuing your training, returning after time away, or beginning for the first time, there is a place for you at Sharanya.
For fifteen years, Sharanya has been a home for Bharatanatyam dancers in Silver Spring, from young children taking their first steps to adults returning to a practice they thought they had left behind.
A new quarter is a natural place to begin. Some students are continuing a journey they started years ago. Others are stepping back into dance after time away. And some are trying Bharatanatyam for the very first time. Wherever you are, our classes are built to meet you there, with structured training, thoughtful guidance, and a community that feels like family.
This fall, our focus is on strengthening technique, deepening conditioning, and helping every dancer understand the pieces they carry more fully. It is a season for growth, refinement, and reconnecting with the art.
If you have been meaning to start, or to come back, this is your moment.
