Testimonials

Bha.Raa.Tha has been a truly enriching experience, nurturing not only strong dance techniques but also confidence, discipline, and love for the art. Thanuja's vision, mentorship, and encouragement have left a lasting impact on me. Bha.Raa.Tha is more than a dance classit feels like a second home.

As a working woman, pursuing my dream of learning Bharathanatyam seemed challenging, but Bha.Raa.Tha gave me the support and flexibility to begin. With Thanuja's inspiring guidance, I gained the confidence to perform on stage something I never thought possible. This journey has shown me that age is never a barrier when passion is nurtured with the right mentorship.

I had the privilege of learning Bharathanatyam at BhaRaaTha for over 3yrs under the guidance of highly qualified and dedicated teachers. The training not only deepend my understanding of Bharathanatyam, but also nurtured my confidence to perform on stage. BhaRaaTha has been instrumental in shaping both my skills and my appreciation of this classical art form. I will always be grateful for the encouragement, discipline and passion it has instilled in me.

It has been a privilege to learn Bharathanatyam under the guidance of guru Thanuja Ravindran. Her dedication and passion for the art form are truly infectious, making each class a joyful and profound experience. She doesn't just teach steps; she instills a deep appreciation for the history, music, and spiritual aspects of the dance. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and for helping me connect with the true essence of Bharathanatyam.

Being a student at Bha.Raa.Tha has been such a wonderful journey. Thanuja mam makes every class enjoyable and helps us learn not just the dance steps, but also the meaning and emotion behind them. Her patience and encouragement make me want to do my best every time. I've learned so much about Bharathanatyam and my culture, and I'm really grateful to be part of the Bha.Raa.Tha family.

Learning Bharathanatyam at Bha.Raa.Tha has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Under Guru Thanuja's guidance, I've not only improved my technique and understanding of this beautiful art form, but also discovered a deeper connection to Indian culture and expression. I'm so grateful to be part of the Bha.Raa.Tha family and for everything I've learned on this journey.

I joined Bha.Ra.Tha as a complete beginner and Thanuja's patience and motivation made learning dance so enjoyable. Even my kids loved her classes! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn with confidence and joy.

We've had the privilege of knowing Thanuja and Sathyajith for over eight years through Bha.Raa.Tha when we were in Bangalore, and it has been truly inspiring to witness their journey. Their performances are not just about technique, they tell stories, celebrate our tradition, and bring people together through the beauty of movement. Through Bha.Raa.Tha, Thanuja and team have nurtured countless dancers and share their love for the art form. We're happy to note that we had the opportunity to collaborate with them producing music for one of Bha.Raa.Tha's projects, "Cognizance" back in 2018 in Bangalore.

I remember that day when a simple beautiful girl, full of enthusiasm came to my house to speak about her passion of starting an organisation to promote performing arts. She is Thanuja Ravindran, a dancer herself. She named that organisation Bha.Raa.Tha. signifying Bha for Bhava or expression, Ra for Raga or music and Tha for thala or Rhythm. As I understand the motive behind this venture was her passion towards the performing arts and to encourage the new generation to appreciate and imbibe the Indian culture through these art forms. I have been extremely fortunate and blessed to have received the first lifelong achievement award from Bha.Raa.Tha.
