Founder of BharatamWin Dance Academy

Mrs. Thuva Anputhasan is the founder of BharatamWin Dance Academy; she also a BharataNatyam dancer, teacher and choreographer, with a graduate degree in Finearts (B.A, specialized in Bharatanatyam) from the University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka.

She became a professional dancer with great interest and inspiration from her childhood days. She learned the basics of Bharatanatyam from her elementary school days and completed graduate degree with special interest. She stood as one of the best students during her graduate years, gave many competitive performances and brought great recognition to her school and teachers as well.

Ms.Thuva also trained many students in her home country; most of them were involved in giving regular Bharatanatyam (artistic yoga) competitive performances. She has been continuing her great profession that she loves since she moved to Canada. This is her 19th year teaching Bharata-natyam in Wndsor. She is always blessed with all her lovely students in Windsor. Some of her students have successfully taken the Bharatanatyam grade examination, which conducted by Tamil Isai Kalaamanram of Ontario and achieved Distinction and nothing below that level.

Students

Her first student appeared for the Bharatanatyam examination in the year 2008; interestingly she is also the first student who participated from Windsor and Essex County; followed by that more students participated and achieved Distinction. She trains all her students as per the syllabus required to appear for the Bharatanatyam examinations, she also motivate and encourage them to appear for the examination and demonstrate their talent by achieving a higher grade.

Dance is a fitness

Along with that, they also get a variety of different stage performance opportunities every year to show their artistic skills. She teaches her students in a friendly atmosphere with great encouragement to enjoy the lessons. She would like to bring awareness about this beautiful nature of artistic yoga, so people can make themselves involve in and enjoy this wonderful skill as she does; at the same time it can help them to keep their mind and body healthy and fit. There are scientifically proven benefits associated with learning and practicing Bharatanatyam regularly. I will be happy to provide you with detailed information about these benefits, if interested
