Arathi School of Dance in Dallas, TX was founded by Guru Revathi Satyu in 1980. Arathi School quickly became the premiere school for Bharatanatyam education in the metroplex and continues to offer classes at our various locations for inspiring and educating students, both new and old.
Our locations:
We conduct classes at convenient locations in Arlington, Irving, Carrollton, Plano, and Frisco.

Our school year starts from September and continues through May. Classes are held for one hour weekly. There is annual anniversary program that students perform in that takes place typically at the end of April or May. Some intermediate and advanced groups will also have the opportunity to take part in performances within the metroplex during the school year. Also, our students will be offered the chance to take part in various performances and workshops from other renowned gurus over the summer months.

All students are required to wear the school uniform which can be ordered through each teacher.
