Kolpotoru is an amazing platform for those who want to learn various forms of dance like Bharatnatyam, Katthak, Manipuri Dance, Western Contemporary, Salsa and even Aerial Dancing. And if you really excel at it, the school gives one of its best performer/student scholarships to study category dance in Calcutta.
Anandita, a student of the institution, felt this was her calling. “Kolpotoru is my life. This is where I feel very comfortable and I can express my artistic opinions. I have studied previously in many dance schools but I feel that Kolpotoru has been the most professional amongst them all. I especially love the friendly atmosphere that prevails and Lubna ma’am takes care of each of us as if we were her own children.”
Kolpotoru has another wing called Shadhona which is popular jn Dhaka. Shadhona deals with formal workshops and dance productions all over Bangladesh.
“Our teachers are very experienced” remarked Cynthia, a student of Manipuri dance at Kolpotoru. When asked why she selected the traditional form of dance she said “Manipuri dance moves are very feminine and I fell in love with these moves when I first saw the dance.”
