Dance Performances & Classes in Trivandrum

Classical dance is one of the things Trivandrum does best. Kerala Tourism's Nishagandhi Dance Festival brings a week of Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi, Kuchipudi, Manipuri, Mohiniyattam and Kathakali to the open-air Nishagandhi Auditorium early each year, and the Soorya Festival opens its 111-day season in October with a dance and music festival. Bharat Bhavan holds an Indian classical dance festival named after Kapila Vatsyayan, Vyloppilli Samskrithi Bhavan stages Mohiniyattam, Kathakali and Koodiyattam in its koothambalam, and arangetrams by students of the city's many dance schools fill Tagore Theatre and smaller halls. Alongside the classical calendar, studios around Kowdiar, Pattom and Kazhakkoottam run contemporary, hip-hop, salsa and Zumba classes and occasional social nights.
