Amstelveen, Eindhoven and Utrecht hold sizeable Indian communities built around tech and semiconductor work, and Dutch schools finish early enough that an afternoon class is realistic. Nrithyakshetra teaches Netherlands-based students live from Bengaluru with the same graded classical curriculum we use in the studio.

Dutch school days end early, and Wednesdays are shorter still for most primary pupils, which happens to line up with one of our two weekday batches. The Sunday class runs late morning to early afternoon your time.
The short Dutch Wednesday is a gift, our Wednesday batch is one of the two weekday sessions, so a child can come home from school and go straight into class without the day being rearranged around it.
Time zones covered: CET in winter, CEST in summer. Local times above are shown for summer time where a country observes it. If none of these suit your household, tell us the window that does, we open a dedicated slot when a few families in one zone ask for the same time.
Where Our Netherlands Students Are
Dutch-resident Indian families are usually balancing three languages already, so we keep our online classes plain-spoken in English and explain every Tamil or Sanskrit term the first time it appears. Parents tell us the shlokas half of our teaching matters to them as much as the dance itself.
Not on the list? Online classes reach every part of Netherlands equally, the list simply shows where our current students happen to live.
How Our Online Classes Work
Free trial first
We start with a free trial session at a Netherlands-friendly time so you can meet the guru and test your setup before paying anything.
Live, never recorded
Every class is a live video session. The guru watches your posture and rhythm on screen and corrects you in the moment, exactly as in the studio.
The same graded syllabus
Adavus, mudras, tala, abhinaya and margam repertoire, in the same order our HSR Layout students learn them, plus Sanskrit shlokas if you want them.
Small batches
Batches are deliberately small so every student is seen and corrected each week. One-to-one slots are available if you prefer.

Online Bharatanatyam Classes in Netherlands, FAQs
Do you offer online Bharatanatyam classes in Netherlands?
Yes. Nrithyakshetra teaches students across Netherlands through live online Bharatanatyam classes, taught from our academy in HSR Layout, Bengaluru. Classes are live video sessions with a classically trained guru, not pre-recorded videos, and follow the same graded curriculum as our studio batches. We teach students in Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Eindhoven, Utrecht and elsewhere in Netherlands.
What are the class timings for students in Netherlands?
Our timetable is Wednesday and Friday, 5:00 to 6:00 PM and 6:00 to 7:00 PM IST, plus a longer 90-minute Sunday class from 3:00 to 4:30 PM IST. In Netherlands that works out as, Wednesday & Friday: 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Netherlands (CEST) (5:00 to 6:00 PM IST); Wednesday & Friday: 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM Netherlands (CEST) (6:00 to 7:00 PM IST); Sunday: 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM Netherlands (CEST) (3:00 to 4:30 PM IST). Dutch school days end early, and Wednesdays are shorter still for most primary pupils, which happens to line up with one of our two weekday batches.

How much do online Bharatanatyam classes cost from Netherlands?
Fees are quoted in EUR (€) and charged monthly, with no joining fee and no long contract. WhatsApp us at +91 96116 21086 for the current fee for your child's age and level, and start with a free trial class before you decide anything.
Are online classes as effective as in-person classes for Netherlands-based students?
For technique, theory, abhinaya and steady graded progress, live online classes work very well, the guru sees your posture on screen and corrects it in real time, and batches are kept small so every student is watched. Our Netherlands-based students follow the same syllabus, the same assessments and the same repertoire as students in our Bengaluru studio.
Can complete beginners and young children in Netherlands join?
Yes. We teach children from age five, teenagers, adult beginners with no dance background at all, and trained dancers returning after a break. Beginners in Netherlands start with the foundational adavus and basic tala, exactly as our studio beginners do.
What do we need at home in Netherlands to join an online class?
A laptop, tablet or phone with a camera, a reliable internet connection, and about two metres of clear floor space, a hard floor is better than carpet. Nothing else. We walk you through the setup during the free trial session.
Do you teach Sanskrit shlokas as well as dance to students in Netherlands?
Yes. Our shlokas and devotional recitation programme is available online alongside the dance, and many families in Netherlands take both, for children growing up outside India it is often the part parents value most.
How do we book a free trial online class from Netherlands?
WhatsApp +91 96116 21086 telling us your city in Netherlands, the student's age and any previous dance experience. We will confirm which batch suits your time zone and arrange a free trial class, there is no payment and no commitment before that.
