At Leela, dance is more than a performing art—it is an education.

True to this belief, our Pongal Showcase focused on the learning process rather than only the performance. Parents and guests were delighted as students, from the youngest to the most advanced, broke down rhythmic structures, compositional patterns, and key narrative elements that define a Bharatanatyam Margam. In the process gaining a deeper understanding of what a Margam truly is.

So, through simple explanations, rhythmic recitations, dances and dance movements, the Pongal Showcase became a “harvest” of learning—celebrating knowledge, gratitude, and the intrinsic connection between nature and humanity. It embodied the spirit of discipline, devotion, and artistry. It was truly inspiring to witness our students’ dedication and sincerity.
