WELCOME TO VIDHYALAYA 

Vidhyalaya was founded in 2024 in Kitchener, Ontario, by Vidhya Mohandas, a dedicated artist, educator, and entrepreneur with over 32 years of experience in Bharatanatyam. Having performed on over 300 stages and choreographed more than 100 dance productions, including appearances on national and local television, Vidhya brings unmatched expertise and passion to every class.
