About Us
Siddhi Dance Academy
Siddhi means mastery. The pursuit of mastery can motivate one to work hard with perseverance. Siddhi aims to be that motivation for students to set their individual goals and do their sadhana/practice.
Offering a comprehensive dance curriculum for students ages five and above, our institute is committed to nurturing their creativity while instilling humanitarian thoughts in them. While the primary genre of instruction is Bharatanatyam, workshops in other dance forms, music, and theater are offered for well-rounded dance education

Our Mission
To spread 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 the learning experience, SDA encourages students to ask questions and engage in discussions rather than to just accept what's taught. Every student's creative ideas are valued and nurtured. Students are encouraged to be empathetic, appreciative, and supportive of each other.
