Ankura,” meaning tender sprout, symbolizes new beginnings and artistic growth.

This recital presents the young dancers of Tejas Academy of Arts as they take their first steps into the world of classical performance. Rooted in the tradition of Kuchipudi; one of India’s eight classical dance forms, known for its expressive storytelling and rhythmic grace.

Through foundational pieces and vibrant group presentations, these budding artistes showcase months of disciplined training, devotion, and dedication.

“Ankura” celebrates not just performance, but the blossoming of confidence, culture, and commitment in the next generation of artistes.

At Tejas Academy of Arts, we believe every artiste begins as a delicate sprout. With guidance, perseverance, and encouragement, that sprout grows into a strong and graceful tree rooted in tradition
