Tanwi’s Gurus

The Masters Who Shaped Tanwi's Journey

Behind every dancer’s grace is a Guru’s wisdom.

At the heart of Nikkan Dance Academy lies a legacy of discipline, devotion, and timeless learning passed down from revered Gurus to dedicated disciples. Tanwi Bhattacharya's journey in dance has been deeply influenced and shaped by her Gurus, whose teachings continue to inspire every class, every choreography, and every performance at Nikkan.

From early childhood to today, Tanwi has been privileged to learn under the guidance of eminent teachers who have nurtured her understanding of technique, expression (abhinaya), rhythm (tala), and the deeper spiritual essence of Indian classical dance.

Each Guru has left an indelible mark on her path:

"
"My Gurus taught me that dance is not just art — it is devotion, discipline, and a way of life. Their blessings are the foundation of Nikkan."
— Tanwi Bhattacharya
