The school

Nine emotions, one language of movement.

Navarasa means “nine emotions”: the nine rasas that give Indian classical dance its soul. Every gesture, glance and rhythm is a way of telling a story and feeling it.

Navarasa is a school of Indian dance in Switzerland, founded by Sumi Ranjith, with classes for children and adults in Hünenberg and online.
