Theiya Arts is a leading South Asian Arts organisation based in Edinburgh that aims to foster a vibrant, inclusive arts community that thrives on diversity and representation, and makes South Asian Arts an integral part of the Scottish dance ecosystem.
There are 4 strands to our work:
1. Theiya Arts Dance Collective
2. Theiya Connect
3. Theiya Arts School
4. Theiya in the Community
We run classes in Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kandyan Dance Mohiniyattam and Bollywood.
Our in person classes are in Edinburgh, Livingston and Bridgend. We also have online options.
Classes are available for both children and adults.
Our Dance, Yoga and Meditation sessions focus on making the practices accessible and inclusive. We just don't teach you how to move, stretch or relax; we also help you find your own path in these art forms and practices that works for you and your body and mind.
The dance company of Theiyā Arts was established in 2020. It is a Collective of Edinburgh-based, South Asian dance artists, committed to using 'Arts as Activism' and initiating dialogue about contemporary socio-political issues through the medium of South Asian Arts.
If you would like to join any of our classes, either visit our online shop to book, or contact us to discuss what you are interested in.
We would love to help you find exactly what you need,
be it Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kandyan, Mohiniyattam, Bollywood, Yoga or Meditation.
