About the Institution name!
Sadirattam was the previous name for Bharatanatyam. The name change from Sadirattam to Bharatanatyam occurred in the early 1930s. Originally, Bharatanatyam was referred to as Sadir Attam or Dasi Attam. The term "Sadir" means "to present", while "Dasi" refers to Devadasis, who were temple dancers. This dance style has a rich history and is deeply rooted in Indian culture, particularly in the state of Tamil Nadu in Southern India.
Our institution is named the Sadir School of Bharatanatyam to honor the tradition and origins of this art form.
