Our vision for the future is to become one of Chennai’s most outstanding Bharatanatyam dance academies. By learning different teaching methods, we will tweak our technique depending on the student’s caliber and age. For our new students, we start familiarizing them with adavu vocabulary through constant practice and repetition. Though the practice can be tiresome, we will introduce unique ways of executing the same movement, using various spatial arrangements and rhythmic patterns. We also teach them gestures and viniyogas(applications) theoretically in the form of Sanskrit Slokas. Though children can understand the theory, difficulty arises when implementing the technique since it is usually taught in Sanskrit, an unfamiliar language. To overcome this problem, we will practice gestural vocabulary using simple stories that would interest students while retaining them in their memory for extended periods. 

As a Bharatanatyam dance academy in Chennai, the cookie-cutter approach will not work for all our students. Children are innately curious, and when guided properly, they will catch hold of the technique and perform confidently, surpassing our standards. The blend between traditional and innovative methods will be the perfect combination to help students become proficient in the divine art form, Bharatanatyam.

Students of SSM regularly perform at various temples, participate in school competitions, and bring laurels to their parents and gurus. One thematic dance presentation, known as “Krishnaarpanam,” was done by SSM students on the DD channel. Also, students are encouraged to participate in dance examinations conducted by Prayathnam.
