Business Description
At Natya Praana Lonsdale Street Dandenong Melbourne Lakshanya started learning this beautiful art form at the age of 5, under the tutelage of highly respected Kalakshetra graduate Smt, Shanthy Rajendran, Director of Nrithakshetra School of Indian Classical Dance.
At Natya Praana Lonsdale Street Dandenong Melbourne After gaining a strong foundation of Natya basics, she then continued her learning under Smt. Rathika Mahadeva, disciple of Natyacharyas the Dhananjayans. Lakshanya performed in many of Bharata Kalanjali Melbourne’s large scale dance drama productions, including Sringara, Ashokavanam (Ramayana), as well as the lead role of Goddess Annapurani in Annapoorna Devi, Goddess of Food.
Lakshanya completed her Bharatanatyam Arangetram alongside her brother Vasish in 2011 with special training from one of the last direct disciples of the great Rukmini Devi Arundale – Shri P.t Narendran, and also was/is blessed to undergo training from him regularly in both Chennai and Melbourne.
In January 2013 Lakshanya and Vasish performed a Margam at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan as part of the Chennai Margazhi Music and Dance Festival, and a few years later Lakshanya decided to take up dancing as her full time career, thereby going to Chennai and living there for a period to study Bharatanatyam in detail.
She is now under the tutelage of Natyacharyas the Dhananjayans themselves, after deciding to enrol in their gurukulam-like Natya Institution (Bharata Kalanjali) in Chennai. During her time in Chennai, Lakshanya performed at many prestigious Sabhas and theatres, including Madras Music Academy, Sir Mutha Venkatasubba Rao Concert Hall, Sivagami Pethachi Auditorium and even Saraswathy Hall in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
She was also part of a Performance Tour with Bharata Kalanjali’s senior dancers around Yelagiri (a Hill station in Tamil Nadu) and the surrounding villages. After completed the Natya Abhyasa course in Bharata Kalanjali, one moment in her life that she will treasure for years to come is receiving the opportunity to perform a solo Margam at Madras Music Academy in 2019 with her beloved Guru Natya Kalanidhi Smt. Shanta Dhananjayan guiding her on Nattuvangam.
After returning from Chennai, Lakshanya has since started her own Bharatanatyam school here in Melbourne, called Natya Praana. Natya meaning dance, and Praana meaning life force, essentially translates to ‘Dance is what keeps us breathing’. Lakshanya wishes to showcase the greatness of this extraordinary art form, and do so in such a way that even non-dancers are able to connect to the Natyam.

I joined the Natya academy to learn Bharatanatyam recently, and it’s been fantastic. The teachers are great, the classes are fun, and I’ve made a lot of progress already!
