Sai Arts International

Sai Arts International, based in Rajajinagar, Bengaluru, is a well-established institution dedicated to the training and promotion of Indian classical dance forms, particularly Bharatanatyam and Kathak. Founded in 1992, the institution operates under the leadership of Guru Dr. Suparna Venkatesh, a Karnataka Kalashree awardee, along with Sai Venkatesh, a noted light designer. It functions as both a teaching space and a cultural hub for classical performing arts.

The institution offers structured training programs for students at various levels, including specialized instruction in Nattuvangam, an essential component of Bharatanatyam. In addition to regular classes, Sai Arts International hosts workshops led by senior practitioners, providing exposure to diverse styles and pedagogies within the Indian classical dance tradition.

Sai Arts International also serves as a performance platform, organizing events such as Sai Nrityotsav and student debut recitals, including Rangapravesha and Rangmanch Pravesh. These performances are often staged at prominent venues like Chowdaiah Memorial Hall, contributing to Bengaluru’s active classical arts ecosystem and supporting emerging as well as established artists.
