School Programs

Over the years, Kalapriya has provided educational programs throughout the City of Chicago. The programs have been presented in both in-person classes and online teaching environments and have included in-school residencies, workshops, after-school programs, interactive presentations, and assemblies. Providing arts education for students from pre-K through 12th grade in Chicago’s schools is one of Kalapriya’s guiding principles and stated goals.

Our specially crafted programs introduce the interdisciplinary art forms of Indian dance and music through storytelling while offering curricular links to language arts, global studies, music, history, and yoga. These programs are often customized with the educators to suit the school’s elective and after school needs.

Kalapriya has started a “Journey Through South Asia” curriculum where each week students embark on an educational journey to a different region in South Asia. They study maps and bodies of water to get an idea of what it is like to live in each location before learning the dances and music from that area.
