"Learning Bharathanatyam through TDES Distance Education Programme is a rare and wonderful opportunity to the passionate dancers all around the globe. This Programme benefits in exploring the deepest essence of the art form which also allows the dancers to follow their passion simultaneously with their distinct professional achievements.
TDES continues to be an excellent platform, provides outstanding teaching faculties to guide each and every individual based on their professional skills which adds tremendous inputs in each session. Age is not a handicap in this united and open minded zone, where all the age group dancers interact and share their knowledge.
This programme comforts the art lovers making it possible to pursue their passion for this art along with their primary profession in spite of their location or any other constraint. The value of this programme is dictated in its own way and complements the beneficiaries.
Since all the study materials are provided in prior to the stipulated contact classes, it is possible for us to prepare for it, and also the queries regarding syllabus can be enquired in the contact classes which allows us to know the art form in its deepest depth. The meticulous study materials given in CDs (audio and video) and printed books, the careful and efficient teaching in the contact classes, the assignments, seminars and dissertation work, mark the high standard of this programme.
I am very delightful to be part of this TDES Distance Education Programme. That's where my passion and dream came true with this incredible learning process."
