About Sri Deepthi Nrithyalayam
Preserving and promoting the rich heritage of Kuchipudi classical dance since 2016.
Sri Deepthi Nrithyalayam
Where Tradition Meets Excellence
Sri Deepthi Nrithyalayam was born from a deep reverence for Kuchipudi — one of India's most graceful classical dance forms. Founded by Natya Sri awardee Smt. Malladi Bhavana Deepthi, the academy began as a humble endeavor to share the beauty of classical dance with the youth of Hyderabad.
What started as a small class in Mothinagar has grown into a thriving institution with 9+ branches across the city, training over 1000+ students in Kuchipudi, folk dance, Garba, Dandiya, and more. Our students have graced prestigious stages including Koti Deepotsavam and national cultural festivals.
At Sri Deepthi Nrithyalayam, we believe that dance is more than movement — it is a pathway to self-discovery, cultural connection, and personal transformation. Every student who walks through our doors embarks on a journey that builds confidence, discipline, and an enduring love for art.
