Welcome to the Nepal Dance School, located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. NDS is dedicated to promoting cultural diversity and enrichment through the mediums of dance and music instruction, performances, and programs.
NDS works with Young Audiences of Virginia, an organization dedicated to presenting unique arts-in-education programs. We also participate with and other groups, such as IDEA (Indian Dance Educators Association), the India International School in Chantilly, the Lorton Workhouse Center for the Arts, and the Fairfax Park and Recreation Department (Audrey Moore ReCenter).
Our aim is to bring the beauty of dance and music to a wider audience, and in so doing, help to perpetuate the long-standing traditions of Asian heritage. Our performances include student participation and visual presentations that make learning about customs, history, and cultures exciting and fun. NDS school programs easily integrate and complement SOL and other state requirements.

New Location: Lorton Workhouse
Perhaps our most exciting news is the start of Nepal Dance School at the Workhouse in Lorton, Virginia. All classes and workshops will be conducted in wood-floored and mirrored professional dance studios. Classical Indian Kathak classes will taught on Sundays to live music. Ghungharoos (bells) will be available for purchase through NDS. Bollywood classes will be held on Tuesday afternoons and throughout Sunday as well. Tabla instruction will be starting early April for beginners and advanced students. Instruments may be rented or purchased from NDS for this class.
In addition, NDS is offering a number of Bollywood one day Workshops on Sundays throughout Spring and Summer. Dates and times can be found in the Workhouse catalog or online.
The Workhouse is offering a special bonus for people who register early! Please go here for exact times, fees, location, and registration details (either use the search function or click more->dance and browse for our classes).

Bollywood & Kathak Classes for Fall
NDS is pleased to add a new location for Bollywood and Kathak dance! We will be at Audrey Moore Rec Center in Springfield every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. In addition, we are also offering our regular classes at Fairfax County schools through the Park & Rec Department: Monday nights at Fairfax County Government Center, Wednesdays at Longfellow Middle School, Thursdays at Navy Elementary, and Fridays at Stone Middle School. Check your ParkTakes magazine, available at all local libraries for schedules, fees, and times! These classes are limited to 15 people per class, so sign up early!
Private classes are filling fast for the Fall season. Times allotted to regular students will be given first preference, but we need confirmation to hold your space. Instruction is offered privately in the following dance styles: Kathak, Bollywood, Nepali Folk, and Tabla.
Check our calendar for classes at India International School and Durga Temple.
NDS also has a packed Fall schedule with performances for Young Audiences of Virginia (details coming soon), all around the state, and through CAPs right here in Fairfax County.
We hope you will join us on October 6 at the National Theatre when NDS performs a program highlighting the various dance styles of Nepal and India.
Nepal Dance School now offers fine quality tablas and madals, as well as providing service and repair.
