Bhaskar's Arts Academy Ltd

The story of Bhaskar’s Arts Academy began way back in 1952, when founder K.P. Bhaskar, Kerala-born dancer trained in Kathakali and a mix of other Indian dance forms, performed in Singapore to great sensation and soon settled down to teach dance to the culturally starved Indian community in the British colony. The Bhaskar’s Academy of Dance was formed.

In the nation-building days of the 1960s, the dance academy toured all over Singapore performing in numerous multicultural shows known as “Aneka Ragam Rakyat” as part of national rallies promoting the Singapore identity. After Singapore’s independence in 1965, the academy also performed regularly for dignitaries from various countries at state functions.
