A bit about us
Who We Are
Founded in 2013 by Karthik Tantri, Abstratics is a Bengaluru-based dance company dedicated to expanding the expressive potential of movement. At its core, Abstratics believes in dance as a powerful language—one that transcends boundaries, tells stories, and connects people across cultures and experiences.
Our work is shaped by a rich blend of artistic influences, from classical forms to contemporary expressions, always grounded in thoughtful exploration and creative risk-taking. Each performance is crafted not only to entertain, but to evoke emotion, provoke thought, and spark meaningful dialogue.
In addition to creating compelling stage productions, Abstratics is equally committed to dance education. We offer a range of programs—from workshops and residencies to long-term training—that invite participants to engage deeply with their bodies, imagination, and artistic voice. Through these educational efforts, we aim to nurture a new generation of dancers and movement thinkers.
Abstratics continues to grow as a space for collaboration, learning, and creative exchange—where dance is not just practiced, but deeply lived. It is a place where artists come together to challenge ideas, share stories, and shape new possibilities through movement.
Our Vision:
Exploring dance through art and culture
At Abstratics, our vision is to redefine the way dance is experienced and understood. We seek to transcend traditional forms by weaving together movement, visual arts, and cultural narratives to create performances that are immersive, meaningful, and emotionally resonant. We believe that dance is a living language—one that evolves through curiosity, collaboration, and fearless artistic exploration. Through our work, we aim to spark dialogue, inspire connection, and open new dimensions of storytelling that speak to the world we live in today.
Dance Education at Abstratics:
Versatility and creativity
At Abstratics, our dance education philosophy centers on nurturing versatility, creativity, and authentic self-expression. We believe that dance is not just a skill to be mastered, but a personal journey of discovery and growth. Guided by experienced instructors and supported by a strong focus on individual attention, we create an encouraging environment where dancers of all levels can thrive.
Our programs span a wide range of styles—including contemporary, classical, hip hop, and experimental movement—allowing students to explore diverse techniques and expand their movement vocabulary. Whether you're preparing for a professional career or dancing for personal fulfillment, our training is designed to challenge, inspire, and elevate your potential.
We encourage dancers to think beyond conventional forms, embrace new perspectives, and cultivate an artistic voice that is uniquely their own. At Abstratics, education is not just about perfecting technique—it’s about becoming a more expressive, curious, and confident artist.
Our Mission:
Empowering dancers and building community
At Abstratics, our mission is to offer a holistic and inspiring dance education that nurtures artistic excellence, creative exploration, and a lifelong love for movement. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and welcoming space where dancers of all backgrounds and skill levels can grow, express themselves, and connect through the shared language of dance.
We believe in making dance accessible to all—breaking down barriers and spreading the joy of movement within and beyond our studio walls. Through our classes, workshops, and performances, we aim to build a vibrant and diverse dance community that celebrates individuality, collaboration, and the transformative power of the arts.
