Rhythmic Dance Academy – Kuchpudi

Rhythmic Dance Academy (RDA), founded in 2008 by Mrs. Manjula Sree, is a school of Kuchipudi, Semi-Classical and Free Style dance serving the Kansas City area. With a vision rooted in personalized attention and nurturing individual talent, RDA encourages young children and adults alike to embark on the enriching journey of Kuchipudi, offering instruction tailored to each student from beginners to advanced levels.

Beyond dance training, RDA is dedicated to community service through charity shows that raise funds for those in need, giving students valuable stage experience while supporting meaningful causes. The academy’s mission is to transform practice into performance, so every student can reach their full potential.
