Karma Dance Academy
Established in 2010, Karma Dance Inc. is one of the largest and most active new-era classical Indian dance academies in Melbourne. Our classes span all levels from beginner children, beginner adults, intermediate levels through to advanced/professional training.
A weekly timetable of regular classes are conducted across three studios: Galada Centre (Epping), Creeds Farm Living & Learning Centre (Epping) and Studio J (Richmond).
Our inspiring teachers are passionate about using modern and innovative teaching/educational methods, without compromising the core traditional aesthetic of the dance, to help build capability, develop performance acumen, and instil a love for the art in every student we train.
All students are offered the opportunity to perform in annual performances and showcases which have received critical acclaim (see Media page).
