About Us
Siddhi Dance Academy
Siddhi means success or perfection - which are both relative and can be different to each individual. But success/perfection pushes everyone to work hard with perseverance. Siddhi aims to be that force which motivates students to do their sadhana/practice.
We offer a comprehensive dance curriculum to students ages five and above. Our institute is committed to nurturing student's creativity while instilling humanitarian and social justice thoughts in them.
While the primary genre of instruction is Bharatanatyam, we offer workshops in other dance forms, music, and theater for a well-rounded dance education.

Our Mission
To share the joy of dancing and enable students to express and explore their thoughts, beliefs, and emotions.
Dance education encompasses far more than movement and technique. As part of a well-rounded dance training, here at SDA we encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussion rather than just accepting what's taught. Every student's creative ideas are valued and nurtured. We allow students to be empathetic, appreciative, and supportive of each other.
