Hands down The BEST bharatanatyam dance school in portland! My daughter had been coming here since she was six. The dance teacher is fantastic, caring, inspirational and motivates kids to do their best.This is reflected in their amazing performances thru out the year. I highly recommend Kalabharathi school of dance.

Shivy is a wonderful Guru and has extensive knowledge of the art form! Constantly strives to enhance dance productions every single time for over 3 decades. We are extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity of being in her prestigious academy. Children get inspired with the passion and dedication. School has grown and so have the families, it is a treasure in the community.

The 2-star reviewer is generous after what they’ve gone through. that review is 100% accurate. the rest of the 5-star reviewers are either paid faculty, or the dance teacher Shivy’s cronies, or adult students who don’t face the brunt of her insults....... go ahead if you want your children face psychological terror and abuse and that too pay her for that. Will you do such a thing do sake of a noble deed like classical dance full of meaningful cultural and moral stories,.....? Hypocrisy. Discreetly just ask the parents of the kids from the juniors class if she has not hurled insults like “your dance is like vomit”, and you’ll get all the lowdown......, or just ask the kids in private. At least learn better insults! I digress...... it’s no joke. Shivy exploits the 2 parents............ let me just call them S and G, who are her cronies (euphemistically “volunteers”). She plays them against each other and they keep getting more and more desperate for her attention and shivy eats the malai from that churn........ but Shivy keeps those two cronies “fed” by giving their kids the top dance roles. Sad state of affairs, I almost feel like reporting her to child protective services.
