School Of Ballet & Contemporary Dance

We are located right inside the Chinmaya Vidaya School grounds in Anna Nagar. If you come to the 18Th Street area, you’ll find us at numbers 50 and 58. The rooms are quite large, which is good because the kids need space to move without hitting the walls. We have these big mirrors along one side and the wooden floors get pretty scuffed up from all the shoes and bare feet. Usually, the afternoons are the busiest time when the students start showing up after their regular classes are over. It gets quite noisy with the music and the sound of feet hitting the floor. We spend a lot of time just practicing the same movements over and over again. It’s not like the movies; there’s a lot of sweating and people sitting on the floor stretching. The parents usually wait outside or near the school gate, talking to each other while they wait for the session to finish. We keep the windows open when it’s not too humid, but Anna Nagar can get pretty hot. Sometimes we have to remind the younger ones to stay focused when they start playing around. It’s a lot of work to keep the schedule running on time. We don’t have a fancy lobby, just some benches and a place to leave bags. It’s about the movement and getting the steps right, nothing more than that.
