Dance Mantra – The Premier Institute for Indian Dance in Germany
Dance Mantra was founded by Priya Menon, a dancer, choreographer, and educator with over 20 years of professional experience on international stages. From a childhood immersed in Bharatanatyam under the guidance of eminent gurus, Priya’s journey has grown into a lifelong mission: to bring the richness of Indian dance to new audiences in Europe.
At Dance Mantra, tradition and innovation meet. The institute is dedicated to preserving the authenticity of India’s classical dance forms – the spiritual depth of Bharatanatyam, the lyrical grace of Mohiniyattam, and the storytelling power of Kathak – while also celebrating the vibrant energy of Bollywood dance. Together, these styles create a tapestry of movement that is both timeless and contemporary.
What sets Dance Mantra apart is its vision and excellence:
-
The only premium institute in Germany focused on Indian dance as both an art form and a cultural bridge.
-
A place where students train not just in technique, but in expression, discipline, and the deeper philosophy of dance.
-
A platform for performances, workshops, and collaborations that showcase Indian culture on the German and international stage.
Priya’s work has been featured in cultural festivals, international collaborations, and prestigious platforms, making Dance Mantra a name synonymous with quality, authenticity, and artistry.
For students, Dance Mantra is more than a school. It is a home for creativity and growth – where dance becomes a mantra, a way of life, and a connection between cultures.
