History

Narthanalaya was established in 2012 in Albany NY under the tutelage of Smt. Sujatha Sharath. Just like any school, Narthanalya had its humble beginnings, but soon went on to become a reputed dance school in the NY capital district. Narthanalaya has grown from strength to strength. Since its inception the dancers have given many spellbinding performances in the capital district and across NY state.

Smt. Sujatha Sharath
