Nrithya Utsav 2025: A Celebration of Rhythm and Expression

The stage at ARCA Global Indian International School came alive with colour, rhythm, and excitement as the IGCSE department hosted its much-awaited dance competition, Nrithya Utsav 2025. Open to students from Grades 1 to 10, the event showcased an incredible spectrum of talent under two vibrant categories: Indian Classical and Western Dance.

Adding to the event’s prestige were two esteemed judges, Mrs. Swetha Birudaraju and Mrs. Yasmin Ajmal, both accomplished professionals and proud ARCA parents. With their keen artistic sense and insightful perspectives, they evaluated each performance on its creativity, presentation, and overall impact. Their thoughtful observations inspired the participants to continue pursuing their passion for dance with dedication and joy.

From graceful Bharatanatyam movements to energetic hip-hop routines, every performance reflected the students’ creativity, confidence, and hard work. The young dancers transported the audience through stories told in movement, some evoking traditional charm and devotion, others brimming with modern energy and style. The auditorium resounded with applause as each group took the stage, displaying impeccable coordination and infectious enthusiasm.

As the curtains drew to a close, the excitement lingered in the air. The winners of Nrithya Utsav 2025 will be announced soon, but the true success of the event lay in the smiles, applause, and confidence that lit up the stage. Nrithya Utsav was not merely a competition, it was a celebration of movement, expression, and the boundless energy of young performers.
