Alens School of Indian Dances, Stockholm

Alens School of Indian Dances in Östermalm offers tuition in Indian dance styles for students of all ages and levels. The school covers a broad range of dance traditions — classical Indian dance, Bollywood, Tamil cinema dance and folk forms — and holds classes at two Stockholm addresses: Valhallavägen 38 and Torsgatan 8a. In addition to regular classes, workshops are offered along with a tailored package for weddings and bridal showers.

The atmosphere is culturally engaged and personal, with a focus on conveying Indian dance traditions within a Swedish context. Teaching takes place in instructor-led groups with individual guidance. The school was founded in 2013 in Örebro by Alen Chandran and established in Stockholm in 2016 — since then it has become a cultural partner to the Indian Embassy in Sweden and has performed at venues including Musikaliska Koncerthuset.

Suitable for those who are curious about Indian dance with no prior experience, as well as those who wish to go deeper into classical forms such as Bharatanatyam or Kathak. Also a good option for groups looking for a dance element at a wedding or a party.
