Greetings from eAmbalam!

The vision of eAmbalam is “Creating artists everywhere”. With this beautiful enriching vision in their mind, T.V.Ramprasadh and Indira Kadambi, the well-known artist couple in the field of Karnatic vocal and Bharathanatyam with 3 decades of performing experience and 2 and ½ decades of teaching experience are touring USA and Canada to offer free workshops and Lecture demonstrations for Freshers, Basic, Intermediate and Advanced level students.

The prime objective of this tour is to conduct workshops in Karnatic vocal and Bharathanatyam not only in major cities, but also mainly in those places where they do not have access to the teachers, thereby reach out and introduce these amazing art forms to every nook and corner of the world and inspire the students to embrace them either to be professionals or just learn the art for art’s sake and become great connoisseurs and ambassadors of this rich cultural-heritage of India.

About eAmbalam : In December 2012, eAmbalam launched the world’s first online college of Indian performing arts teaching Karnatic music and Bharatanatyam with Yoga offering both Diploma courses and Short term certificate courses. Hundreds of in-depth learning videos and weekly “Meet your teacher” sessions are the highlights of the course. Anyone from anywhere at any time can be a student of the online course!
