Chandan Thakore, the Founder - Director of "NRITYABHARTI PERFORMING ARTS" laid the foundation of this remarkable and unique Bharatnatyam Dance Group in 1998 only for the sake of promoting his students and giving them equal opportunities to show their talents by incorporating new dimensions to Traditional Bharatnatyam Dance with innovative ways in the atricalizing dance form as if it weere a visual symphony.
