Classes at Kala Nivedanam

Kala Nivedanam is in the process of shifting its central location from the residence and home studio of Ms. Cooley and Dr. Mahadevan, to a new location in Bellevue. Until this transition is completed, classes will be held at the Global Education Center, located at 4822 and 4820 Charlotte Avenue. Classes are offered between September and May with new sections added only in September. An annual school recital is held at the end of the year, on the third Saturday in May.

Bharatanatyam

All classes are taught personally by Monica Cooley. Class sizes are kept manageably small with individual attention given to each student. Students progress from year to year with other students of their own level. Students joining Kala Nivedanam with prior dance experience are placed in classes suitable to their level. Private instruction is available only to senior students getting ready for their arangetram or transfer students needing extra help to join an existing class. Classes are offered at several locations on seven days of the week as follows:
  • Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays at the central location
  • Wednesday evenings in Murfreesboro, TN
  • Thursday evenings in Brentwood, TN
  • Monday evenings at Vanderbilt University. These Bharatanatyam classes, which are offered through the Vanderbilt Dance Program, are open to Vanderbilt students, faculty, staff and the general public over the age of 16. Classes run by semester from Sept. to Dec. and Jan. to April. Two sections are offered: Beginning and Intermediate/Advanced
