Principal Teacher
Kalamandalam Baby Vinodini is a versatile and accomplished artist in the field of Mohiniyattam, trained under the guidance of eminent Mohiniyattam exponents at Kerala Kalamandalam.
She completed her diploma in 1993 from the world-renowned Kerala Kalamandalam, one of India's most prestigious institutions for classical arts. In 1997, she founded her own dance school, Sree Parvathi Sangeetha Nrutha Vidhyalayam, in Punnayurkulam, Thrissur, and served as a dance tutor at MES Campus School, Kuttipuram, from 2017 to 2024.
With nearly four decades of dedication to the art form, she remains a role model to generations of students, many of whom have gone on to achieve recognition on national and international stages.
Welcome to Vinodininatyakalagruham—a place where tradition meets passion, and every student is encouraged to discover their artistic potential.
I am a Bharatanatyam dancer, Carnatic vocalist, choreographer, and performing arts educator with a deep love for Indian classical arts. My mission is to pass on the beauty, discipline, and values of our cultural heritage to the next generation through meaningful and inspiring training.
My journey in music and dance has been shaped by years of dedicated learning, performance, and teaching:
At Vinodininatyakalagruham, I believe every student is unique. Whether you are taking your very first dance steps or refining advanced techniques, my teaching approach is built on patience, discipline, encouragement, and individual attention.

A small, considered intake for serious dancers.
For dancers seeking a sustained, teacher-led relationship with their art form, we offer a Professional Dance Studies Intake. This path is for dancers who value rigour, curiosity, and depth — and who are willing to approach practice with a fresh mind. It is for those prepared to unlearn where necessary, return to the foundations with greater attention, and stay with the work over time.
The work at VNG is rooted in a sustained, teacher-led practice — developing clarity, artistic intelligence, and an individual relationship to performance. This may be for you if you are interested in:
This intake also welcomes dancers interested in working within the VNG Repertory and contributing to an evolving professional ensemble. The emphasis is on sustained practice, artistic seriousness, and the possibility of growing within a shared discipline.

A Celebration of Dedication, Discipline, and Artistic Excellence
An Arangetram is more than a debut performance — it is a sacred milestone that reflects years of dedicated practice, perseverance, and devotion to the classical arts. At Vinodininatyakalagruham, we guide each student through this transformative journey with meticulous training and personalized mentorship.

Ardralakshmi ma'am is one of the best teachers who teaches very well with an excellent smile. A fun-loving teacher who makes teaching fun. The most graceful dancer I have ever seen.
Restarting Bharatanatyam at 37 was a challenge, physically and mentally. But my Guru Ardralakshmi gave immense support to move ahead. She is a graceful dancer and an efficient teacher — I am proud to be her student.
My daughter Aadhya (age 7) learns Bharatanatyam from Ardralakshmi online from Maharashtra. Classes run smoothly beyond our expectations, with patient support. My daughter says she is an amazing teacher and very friendly.
