Lageshrie’s School of Dance was established in 1985 by Srimati Lageshrie Phillips to propagate Indian arts in South Africa. The school specializes primarily in Bharatanatyam, yoga and mythology, but also encompasses folk, and fusion work. Today, Lageshrie’s School of Dance has grown to nurture over 20 Bharatanatyam graduates of standard, and remains as one of the few schools in South Africa to host post-graduate Bharatanatyam lessons. One of the school’s primary goals is to propagate spiritual growth through it’s perfection of art, as well as tackle more controversial themes through dance.
