Anuttara Classical Dance Foundation

We are located at House No E-798 in Chitranjan Park, right in the EPDP Colony. It’s a house, really, where we use the ground and first floors for the Anuttara Classical Dance Foundation. It’s got that lived-in feel because it is a real place in a real neighborhood. We spend a lot of time here with the music and the dancing. It’s not a polished studio with mirrors everywhere and perfect lighting. It’s more of a home for people who care about classical dance. Sometimes you can hear the bells from the street if the windows are open. We started this because we wanted a spot in Delhi where this kind of thing could happen without it being too formal. People come by, they practice, and we manage the foundation from the same building. It gets a bit crowded when a class is finishing and another is starting, but that’s just how it goes. The floors get a lot of wear and tear, and there’s always someone looking for their shoes. We’re just a small group trying to keep these traditions going in our own way. We don’t have a big marketing team or anything. It’s just us answering the phone and teaching when we can. It’s a busy house, but it’s a good place to be if you like dance. We like it here.
