NAPA was founded in January 2018 as a cultural organisation to promote Indian classical performing arts – Bharatanatyam (Dance) in Gloucestershire. The main ethos of the academy is to raise the profile of Indian classical performing arts and to support the local communities in Gloucestershire. NAPA’s founders are Dr Gayathiri and Thrinethra Gowri Shankar. For more information go to https://nethraacademy.co.uk.
