NKAPA school has collaborated with state art schools, local communities and organizations in Minnesota. NKAPA is collaborating with interdisciplinary art forms in Minnesota as well as many other US states & Canada.
Nritya Kalakshetra has been an active contributor across many all social/regional events in the twin cities and other parts of the United States and India. Guru Sivanuja Balaji"s students are involved in a variety of performances ranging from Kalakshetra Style Bharatanatyam, Mohiniattam [Indian Classical forms] and Kuchipudi through contemporary dances and performances. The school has been contributing to the growth of this ancient art through focused teaching on the depth of Bharatanatyam, Natyashastras, facial expressions called Abhinaya, and yoga to improve dance posture and stamina. The classes delivered by NKAPA also focus on the 'Theory of Dance' and 'Theatre Performances'.
Nritya Kalakshetra is currently working on having structured-level exams for Bharathnatyam & Mohiniaatam.
