OUR STORY
Founded in April 2020, the Medasvi School of Dance focuses on the South Indian classical dance forms of Mohiniyattam and Bharatanatyam. Medasvi is led by its founder and director Ms. Haritha Haridas, a consummate danseuse with 30+ years of experience in learning, instructing and performing both dance forms across more than 100+ events, festivals, functions and workshops in India and Singapore.
We are proud to have more than 100 students of all ages join us till date for their learning journey in Mohiniyattam and Bharatanatyam, while ensuring that each and every student is motivated to find their own space and pace under the tutelage and direction of Ms. Haritha Haridas.
While the school has a clear focus on Bharatanatyam, Medasvi is one of the very few schools in Singapore that specialises in Mohiniyattam, and we look forward to warmly welcoming you all as we continue to teach both these South Indian classical dance forms, for beginners, experienced dancers, and everyone in between.
