About us - Vidhyalaya

Vidhyalaya was founded in 2024 in Kitchener, Ontario, by Vidhya Mohandas, a dedicated artist, educator, and entrepreneur with over 32 years of experience in Bharatnatyam. Having performed on over 300 stages and choreographed more than 100 dance productions, including appearances on national and local television, Vidhya brings unmatched expertise and passion to every class.

What began as a vision to share the timeless beauty of Bharatnatyam has now grown into a vibrant cultural and wellness center offering Bharatnatyam, Carnatic Vocal Music, Yoga, and Mathematics.

At Vidhyalaya, we empower students of all ages and backgrounds through authentic, high-quality instruction rooted in tradition, yet enriched with innovative teaching methods. Our mission is to create a sacred and inclusive space where students feel safe to explore, express, and grow—not just in the art, but in life.

Vidhya is especially passionate about helping students develop self-expression, discipline, and confidence, nurturing each individual's potential through a journey of joy, grace, and transformation. At Vidhyalaya, you're not just learning—you’re becoming part of a supportive community that values harmony, creativity, and lifelong learning.
