Sangeet Vidya Niketan, founded by Madhur Gupta through its efforts, hopes to bring the art of Indian classical dance and music into the core everyday life of those initiated and uninitiated, aims at providing a creative oasis in this cluttered technologically overdone day and age. This music and dance school aims to provide high quality training in dance and music under seasoned teachers, introduce young and curious minds to Indian culture through dance and music, restore dance and music to its respected and highly crucial part of our society, hold regular master classes under senior maestros for a well expanded understanding of different Banis also known as styles or Gharanas of dance and music, and to provide an infrastructure to dancers and musicians to collaborate and create works of art. The word Sangeet is the culmination or combination of Gayan, Vadan, & Nritya or what is commonly known as Vocal music, Instrumental music and Dance. Sangeet Vidya Niketan truly lives up to the name as they provide courses in Hindustani Vocal music, Hindustani Flute also known as the Bansuri and in Classical dances such as Odissi and Kathak. These courses are taught by seasoned professionals and artists of high caliber.
