With roots in tradition, we branch out, touching all possible horizons, aiming to master techniques that are not only traditionally rich, but also impart the inherent systems that stem from ages ago.
While our focus is to teach the rich variety that supplements identity to our traditional dance forms, the quest to evolve ensures we never let the creativity within lie low. Evolving is next level growth and we firmly believe in honing that.
At Parampara, we believe we grow better when we come together. Collaborating offers a finer chance at experimenting with skills one has worked on and acquiring more to celebrate two strengths as one.
'You never just learn what you set out for. You learn from everything that leads you to it.'
At Parampara, here is what we strive for.

Art has oceanic depths. In the age of shortcuts to spectacular success, it is gladdening to see a relatively young dancer and the academy she runs, to plunge and explore the depths. With the personal preparedness that she is building up, she holds a promise for the future when she could make a significant contribution to dance studies and practice in Gujarat.
