Srishti Summer School 2021

This summer, immerse yourself in Indian classical dance and music training at Srishti’s online summer
school.

Students can participate in Bharatanatyam dance, Karnatik vocal singing classes and Kathak dance, each
offered at a variety of levels, from beginners to advanced. The Summer School will take place online over a
period of ten consecutive days, from 4 to 13 August 2021, with a one-hour class held daily at each level for
each art form.

The summer school launches the start of Srishti’s online school which will then continue to run term-timefrom September, allowing students nationally and internationally to join the school with no geographic

This is a separate initiative to our ongoing face-to-face classes that have been running at Harrow Arts
