Tejas dance was founded by Bhuvana Venkatraman, in 2014, as a platform to enrich and popularize Bharatanatyam and also identify and encourage talent in the field. We strongly believe in the ever-expanding potential of all art forms, Bharatanatyam in particular. Our mission is to blend the great art with changing times and concepts; and also gain acceptance in different cultural milieus.
Bhuvana Venkatraman and Chintan Patel, are both enthusiastic dancers/ choreographers strongly rooted in tradition.
They were drawn towards this dance form, captivated by the vibrancy and the spiritual beauty it has to offer. They believe that Bharatanatyam is looking at things beyond their actual appearance.
Backed with strong training in the art form, they are well equipped and excited to popularize this dance form by offering traditional Bharatanatyam performances that audience across cultures can enjoy, relate and appreciate.
