Swastik Institute of Music and Dance is a Sydney based fine arts temple designed especially to introduce and promote Indian Classical Music and Dance. Although Swastik endeavours in bringing Classical music and dance like Kathak, Bhartnatyam, Odissi and Hindustani Music as an essential part of your life, we also specialise in choreographing and teaching Bollywood, Folk like Bhangra, Rajasthani, Marathi, Gujrati and other major classical, semi-classical, modern and Regional Indian Music and dance forms.

At Swastik every student is treated equally and we practice our ancient Guru Sisya Parampara traditions in our friendly and homely environment.

So our students can continue to hand down this valuable knowledge, we at Swastik make it essential that every student gets an in-depth practical and theoretical knowledge for everything they’re introduced to.

It is Swastik’s aim to produce quality Music and dance masters and to achieve this, we invite examiners from India to specially assess our students and making it possible to align with the quality and standards set by Our Gurus.

Being a fine arts temple, Swastik also emphasises the importance in balancing your body, mind and soul through Yoga and special meditation sessions.

With an understanding of your body, its movements and the chakras you can start experiencing a healthy lifestyle, feel strong and look youthful every time.

You may be interested in a dance routine, be it to learn the choreography to impress a group of your friends, or to simply show your talent and expose your new moves at your next social gathering.

We guarantee we make every routine unique, different and mostly enjoyable

“I was always too shy to dance and felt that no way I could move to music. After joining Swastik Dance, I have overcome that feeling and now play music while around the house and start dancing. I feel I have finally found a way to express my happiness and joy in a way that energises me. The friendly environment is something I look forward too every week because the classes are a great way to have fun and enjoy while learning to dance. I can forget any troubles I am having for the while being and truly have some time for myself and I have also made so many friends. Joining the Swastik family is the best decision I have made.”

“I decided to join Swastik Institute of Dance in October of 2014 and it just so happen to be the best decision of my life without any exaggeration! I decided to join in hopes of getting my regular dose of fun exercise once a week through Bollywood. Before I knew it I found myself picking up the choreographies very quickly and shortly after was inspired to join Kathak classes. I was also lucky to be invited to join our awesome Show buzz group whereby we get exciting opportunities to perform at a variety of different events. I’ve met so many amazing people including some who have become my closest friends. Here at Swastik, strangers quickly become friends and friends quickly become family. We all are bonded by the enthusiasm and passion for dance, no matter what age, background or capability Swastik doesn’t discriminate. They are very welcoming! Through the extensive knowledge, passion, dedication and guidance of our wonderful teacher Sumati didi I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say she has helped us adopt a healthy and positive attitude towards dance and striving to achieve our best and reach our potential. Staff are very helpful, always greeting you with a warm smile ready to assist with any queries that you may have. In choosing to become a part of Swastik Institute of Dance I have gained a wealth of knowledge, confidence and built upon my social skills. I find my life much more fulfilling in the presence of Swastik. I highly recommend joining..believe me you won’t regret it! :)”
