Guru Smt. Geetha Kanhai  


After finishing a basic course Bharata Natyam, at Guru Smt. Chandrika Sundararaman, Smt. Geetha Kanhai learned about the backgrounds of Bharata Natyam under guidance of Smt. Lakshmi Vishvanathan and late Sri M.D. Venkatesh from South-India. About 20 years Smt. Kanhai is actively promoting Bharata Natyam in different ways: by giving workshops and lectures, taking part in panel discussions, creating youth theatre plays, performing dance programs in and outside of Holland and training and initiating dance pupils.
She deepens her knowledge about dance by studying Western dance choreography. Smt. Kanhai has narrow contacts with music and dance institutes in South-India. In 2001 she has been part of the Government Exams Bharata Natyam in Karnataka State as an honoured guest committee member.

Smt. Kanhai’s ideal is to create a suitable and structural place for Indian dance in Holland, and at the same time accommodating to the wishes of the lovers of Indian dance.
