Singapore has a serious, long-established Bharatanatyam culture, and consequently some of the highest class fees and tightest schedules in the diaspora. Families juggling tuition, CCAs and a packed school week often find a live online class from India the only format that actually fits. We teach Singapore students the full graded syllabus from Bengaluru.
Class Timings for Singapore
Singapore is 2.5 hours ahead of Bengaluru all year, so our afternoon classes are your early evening.
| Batch | India time | Singapore (SGT) |
|---|---|---|
| Wednesday & Friday60 minutes | 5:00 to 6:00 PM IST | 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM |
| Wednesday & Friday60 minutes | 6:00 to 7:00 PM IST | 8:30 PM - 9:30 PM |
| Sunday90 minutes | 3:00 to 4:30 PM IST | 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM |
Both weekday batches fall in the Singapore evening, after school, after dinner for some families, and the 90-minute Sunday class runs late afternoon. Nothing shifts seasonally at either end.
A 2.5-hour gap makes Singapore one of the easiest places we teach into: three sessions a week, all at ordinary hours, with the long Sunday class carrying the bulk of new material.
Time zones covered: Singapore Standard Time (UTC+8), no daylight saving. 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 Singapore Students Are
Singaporean Tamil families frequently have a strong baseline knowledge of the art, and our students here are often already performing. Our role is usually to deepen technique and abhinaya rather than to introduce the form, and to prepare students for the standard Singapore audiences expect.
Not on the list? Online classes reach every part of Singapore 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 Singapore-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 Singapore, FAQs
Do you offer online Bharatanatyam classes in Singapore?
Yes. Nrithyakshetra teaches students across Singapore 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 Little India & Serangoon, Jurong, Tampines, Punggol and elsewhere in Singapore.
What are the class timings for students in Singapore?
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 Singapore that works out as, Wednesday & Friday: 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM Singapore (SGT) (5:00 to 6:00 PM IST); Wednesday & Friday: 8:30 PM - 9:30 PM Singapore (SGT) (6:00 to 7:00 PM IST); Sunday: 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM Singapore (SGT) (3:00 to 4:30 PM IST). Both weekday batches fall in the Singapore evening, after school, after dinner for some families, and the 90-minute Sunday class runs late afternoon. Nothing shifts seasonally at either end.
How much do online Bharatanatyam classes cost from Singapore?
Fees are quoted in SGD ($) 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 Singapore-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 Singapore-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 Singapore 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 Singapore start with the foundational adavus and basic tala, exactly as our studio beginners do.
What do we need at home in Singapore 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 Singapore?
Yes. Our shlokas and devotional recitation programme is available online alongside the dance, and many families in Singapore 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 Singapore?
WhatsApp +91 96116 21086 telling us your city in Singapore, 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.
