 Nritya Prerana was established in 1984 in Pune by Mrs Suchitra Date.At Nritya Prerana students are taught creative ballets, research, music setting and choreography.

Our previous famous highly acclaimed performances include Kunti –Ek- Katha based on the life of Kunti of Mahabharat and Deepa-Shikha  a ballet dealing with atrocities faced by women in India and how they empower themselves to handle these atrocities. Both these ballets have been performed several times and over a period of time have managed to raise funds over  Rs. 15 lakhs that have been donated to  social work organizations for shelter homes, education of children and women.

This is the only dance school in India which has successfully set full length dance ballets with such large troupes and a high collection of funds for social work organizations. Our Students have performed for prestigious festivals like Pune Festival, Shanwar wada Festival, Satara Diwali festival at Nataraja Temple and many more.
