The Nritya Bharati School of Kathak Dance was established in 2000 by Namita Debroy with the mission to preserve Indian culture away from our homeland and also to present our traditions to the wider community. Since our inception we have earned a positive reputation as a school that excels in teaching and showing off India’s traditional arts.

​

Namita studied Kathak dance at Agartala Music College under Lucknow University, India, completing her Visharad at 15 years of age. She was trained by Pt. Bihari Lal Sing and Dr. Umashankar Chakraborty (disciple of Pt Birju Maharaj) of the Lucknow Gharana. She also was a competitor in many state and regional dance competitions and was a recipient of the eastern zone dance scholarship. Her formal training extends to violin and guitar with a hobby in painting and artwork.

​

Besides dance and music she also have a Masters in Political Science from Calcutta University.
