Eswaralaya Kalaikoodam

Eswaralaya Kalaikoodam (School of Dance) was first established in Sri Lanka in 1981, moved to New Zealand in 1988 and since 2003 has been successfully conducted in South East Queensland. Classes are conducted at Calamvale, (Southside of Brisbane), Chermside (North side of Brisbane) and Gold Coast. In a short period, this school has touched the lives of many children, shaping their dreams and aspirations of continuing the tradition of Indian classical dance.

The School conducts dance classes in Kalakshetra style. Though there are many different styles of dance in this day and age, Kalakshetra style is considered to be one of the oldest and most respected. The founding member of Kalakshetra: Smt. Rukmani Devi has said that “The purpose of teaching the arts is not merely to teach children to dance and sing, but to be cultured and beautiful people.”
