KalaSourabha History

Music & Dance Competitions to provide a platform for participants in Music and Dance to showcase their talent in various categories like Carnatic Classical Music, Devotional Music, Film Music and Bharatanatyam. We started this initially just for the students of the Institute. The enthusiasm we saw in them and the improvements they showcased were tremendous. Then we thought to expand it across all students who are learning Music & Dance.  We have been conducting this Competition for the past 4 years. In the previous years, this was conducted in person in Ganjam Mantapa, Basavangudi, Bengaluru. Participating in the Music Competition helps in gaining confidence. Some people who have any kind of stage fear, these kind of competitions provide an opportunity for them to overcome their fear and in reality participating in any competition is important(winning or losing really doesn’t matter – but these things will help you in the real challenges in life also). The results of competition should always be taken positively and try to improve and then do better next time.
