Nithya Milanam 2025, the annual Bharatanatyam concert featuring the students of Natesha Nrithyalaya – School of Classical Dance, was held on 27th December 2025 at ADA Rangamandira, Bangalore. The concert presented *13 Bharatanatyam performances by 73 students, ranging from beginners with one year of training to senior students with over ten years of learning experience.
*A key highlight of the concert was the live orchestra,* which provided students with valuable stage exposure and an authentic understanding of performing Bharatanatyam in its traditional format. Dancing to live music enhanced rhythmic sensitivity, expression, and performance confidence.
The event was smoothly executed with the dedicated support of senior student volunteers *Lakshmi Likitha, Avani Karthik, Hrithika Sheshadri, and Pradeeksha.* Parent volunteers *Pavithra and Sharmila*, teaching faculty *Shilpa Ashok*, and administrative support by *Malathi* also played a crucial role in organizing the concert. The event stood as a meaningful celebration of learning, tradition, and community bonding at Natesha Nrithyalaya.
