South Indian Dance, Fitness & Yoga Classes for Kids, Teens & Adults in Croydon
Founded on 1 September 2025, NAMAHA is a community charitable organisation in Croydon, London. We bring people together through South Indian dance, music, culture and wellbeing.
From a child’s first steps to an adult’s return to the stage, we create space to learn, connect and grow. Our classes celebrate Asian dance traditions and contemporary expression, with a special focus on helping women make time for their wellbeing.
Arts and culture. Learning at every age. Health and wellbeing. A stronger community. These are the four purposes at the heart of everything we do.
