At Upasana Kalakendra we provide systematic and structured training in Indian classical art forms along with nurturing a lifelong passion for these art forms. Training is provided by professionally qualified and trained instructors. Anisha Rajesh - Founder & Artistic Director : I was introduced to Indian classical dance and music at the age of five. During the following years I have received extensive training in Bharathanatyam, Mohiniyattam, Kuchipudi, Kathakali, Ottanthulal and Carnatic Music. My passion to delve deep into the technique and history of Indian classical dance has led me to pursue a PhD in Dance at Texas Woman’s University. My research focuses on the movement vocabulary of Indian classical dance after the British colonial era.My passion for dance, music and teaching has paved the path to the formation of Upasana Kalakendra in 2008.
Rated 5.0 Houston is very fortunate to have a knowledgeable and professional guru like Smt.Anisha Rajesh who is dedicated to nurturing the traditions and keeping them alive! Kudos to her family and as well the Upasana family who are helping her in this effort. All the very best to you guys!
Rated 5.0 Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Anisha Rajesh's Upasana Kalakendra and conduct an interactive session with her students. We discussed the importance of artistic pursuit and quality of life based on my experience as a doctor and dancer. Firstly, I was quite impressed by the studio space. Along with the traditional aesthetics in the design, Anisha has paid special attention to the dance floor which is built to minimize stress related injuries. She has also built an exquisite performance space close to her studio. The atmosphere is serene and very conducive to learning. I had the opportunity to observe Anisha teach students of different age groups. I could appreciate how she tailors the teaching to the age and experience of her students. Patient, and very detailed in her feedback, she draws on her considerable experience and academic background in explaining the details to her students. I also took part in a choreographic session where we rechoreographed a traditional dance piece from the repertoire of Mohiniyattam. It was a very interesting experiece for me to delve into choreographic thinking. Anisha tries to expose her students to other allied arts, as well as inspire them to a deeper understanding of what they are learning. Upasana Kalakendra provides Carnatic music lessons as well. This is an excellent opportunity for serious students of dance as musicality forms the very basis of dance. In the past, she has exposed her students to the acting possibilities of Kathakali, and free workshops with prominent performers of Indian classical dance forms. I only hope Anisha's students realize the unique opportunity being offered to them and take full advantage of it.
Rated 5.0 Very good and professional guru, Mrs. Anisha Rajesh and Mr. Sanjit Lal. They teach our kids Bharatnatyam steps very well. Liked the organized way of teaching the Indian classical dance to our kids. We are fortunate to have wonderfrul teachers and a structured dance organization in Houston.
