Theiya Arts School

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.

Theiya in the Community

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. 

Theiya Arts Dance Collective

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.

THEIYA SCHOOL CLASSES
