Aradhana
academy of art is an institution
which was established in the year 2005, the institution
was established by Mrs. Lopamudra Kar who has been
involved in such kind of cultural activities for
the past many years. The institution is her brain
child and was the realization of her long time dream
of making a small contribution towards preserving
and promoting the country's heritage, the classical
form of dance "KATHAK" amongst the common masses.
The
academy conducts classes in Vocal and Instrumental
Music, Classical and Western forms of Dance. The
institution was conferred with the affiliation
from the well known university "Prayag Sangeet
Samiti" in the year 2007, by virtue of which
now the students of this institution can enroll
themselves for Diploma and Degree courses that
the university has to offer, which would help
the student to take up this curriculum as a profession
at a later date if they so want.

The
academy also provides their students an opportunity
to perform before live audiences by way of participating
in cultural activities, so that the student also
develops the confidence to perform on stage before
a large audience, therefore not just teaching dance
or music to their students but
also helping in their all around development. The
institution also celebrates its Annual Day, which
brings together the parents, friends and relatives
of the students together under one roof to see and
appreciate what their children have been learning
all through the year, this opportunity is also utilized
to invite a well known person from the field to
come and be the Guest of Honor for the programme
and give their valuable views & comments on
the performances and blessings to the students and
the institution.

The
institution since its inception, has , through its
performance received a lot of appreciation from
the students and their parents and has also seen
a large influx of new students. We intend to continue
with the idea behind our mission, that is to serve
the society and the country at large by helping
revive the dying interest in our traditional form
of dance and music. |
