“Arpana” – A Tribute to Indian Arts
“Arpana” means an offering — and this school is just that: my humble offering to the timeless world of Indian classical dance and visual arts.
At Arpana School of Arts, our goal goes beyond teaching technique. We strive to cultivate discipline, devotion, and a deep connection to our cultural roots. Every student who walks through our doors is guided not only to move gracefully or paint beautifully, but to create with purpose, passion, and respect for tradition.
We believe that true art is not just about performance—it is about transformation. Our classes are designed to awaken inner creativity while preserving the purity of Indian classical dance forms and traditional Indian painting. We encourage each child to find their voice, their rhythm, and their unique path as an artist.
Arpana is a space where ancient traditions come alive in young hands and hearts. Whether you’re a beginner taking your first step or an advanced student refining your art, we welcome you to a journey of learning, expression, and dedication.
With gratitude and joy,
Aravind R Nair

Moments That Moved Us
My daughter has been training at Arpana for a year now, and the transformation is incredible. Jitha Raj Ma'am’s teaching is exceptional—blending discipline with compassion. The school’s commitment to cultural heritage, confidence-building, and stage presence is exactly what we were seeking. I truly recommend it to anyone looking for a strong foundation in Bharatanatyam.
I’ve had many discussions with the team at Arpana School of Arts over the past year regarding my daughter’s training. What stands out most is their structured approach and the passion for upholding classical values. Jitha Raj Ma'am’s dedication and guidance have made a remarkable difference in my child’s confidence and artistry.
Arpana is not just a dance school—it’s a cultural experience. The personalized attention and structured curriculum have helped my daughter blossom into a confident performer. With Jitha Raj Ma’am leading with such clarity and care, I feel reassured we made the right choice.
