Our Instructor
Shruthy Ramamurthi
Artistic and Creative Director
Shruthy Ramamurthi, is a Bharatanatyam dancer, teacher and a Yoga practitioner whose tryst with this rich art form began at the tender age of 4. She currently resides, teaches and practices in Sydney, Australia . She is the artistic director of the “Margam Centre for Arts“, an organisation dedicated in nurturing quality Indian Art education and appreciation in Sydney
The teaching methodologies include a traditional, holistic approach where the art is taught at a basic fundamental level following a repertoire (focus on technical detail).
"When Shruthy mentioned she was starting Bharatanatyam classes for kids in Sydney, I knew I wanted my daughter to go there as Shruthy is well trained and an incredible artiste. And I am certainly not disappointed! Not only do I find her method of teaching authentic, but, it is very innovative as well. I like Margam hugely for its quality of teaching with emphasis on foundation of the dance form. It is a very interactive school where we are always updated about our children’s progress. I am very happy with how my daughter is picking up the art at Margam."

"Shruthy is a wonderful Bharatanatyam teacher who is very dedicated to her students. Being an older student, I was initially hesitant to start learning dance, but Shruthy has been a very supportive teacher and has shown me that age is no barrier. I would definitely recommend Margam Centre to anyone interested in learning Bharatanatyam/yoga, young or old!"
Amanda
"Shruti is a wonderful, patient & enthusiastic teacher. She nurtures and brings out the best in every student. She is always open to questions & doubts, those of which she clears with simplicity and ease. Both my daughters(16 years and 11 years) thoroughly enjoy both face to face and online lessons and look forward to it every week."

Priya
"I am a beginner and I have just started practicing yoga with Shruthy in Strathfield. Shruthy is fantastic as she makes it very clear and easy to follow the class and understand how to complete different poses and postures. She provides different variations so that people of different levels feel challenged enough in the class. Most of all it is a very welcoming and positive environment - a great way to start or end the day!"
Louise
"I have been training with Shruthy for the last 2 months and I have loved every bit of the class. For the first time ever, I actually look forward to an exercise class and this is all thanks to Shruthy! Considering I have never done yoga before, I was looking for a teacher who could dedicate sometime specifically towards my requirements and needs. I am looking forward to many more classes!!"
Sneha Harish
"Margam Centre for arts is Shruthy's baby, brain child and it shows how much she loves what she does.I had never done yoga in my life before and I'm not fit either. The first class got me thinking I can't do what the rest of them are doing, I could barely imitate and hold my stance. Shruthy's passion shines through and fills the room with such positivity - you will want to go back!"
Calvin Smith
"Shruthy is a very patient teacher, she cares a lot about her students making sure we execute the poses properly and at our own pace. As a uni student I’ve found it has helped with my studies as a way of clearing my head and with my general flexibility. I’ve really enjoyed seeing my progress, highly recommend."
