Beeja Dance Company

Beeja means ‘seed’ in Hindi. It also carries with it a sense of transformation and the start of life.

In keeping with its name, the company Beeja aims to generate new ideas, new understanding and fresh creative forms. Its work is based in Indian classical dance, bharatanatyam, and offers a range of options — performances, workshops, residencies and regular dance classes.

Beeja artists have performed in mainstream venues to critical acclaim. We regularly perform in non-conventional venues like museums, hospitals, schools, village halls and other public spaces. We aim to make bharatanatyam accessible to a wider audience and encourage interaction with the artists and the dance form.

Beeja offers workshops and residencies in 'Bollywood', Indian folk, creative movement and other Indian classical styles.
