The Kalasamarpana Foundation (now the classical wing of Rasoham) is run by the legendary dancers Narasimhachari & Vasanthalakshmi.
Kalasamarpana Foundation was started by The Narasimhacharis in 1969. Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi, two major classical dance styles of South India and vocal music are being taught here. It is a rewarding experience to watch students, both Indian and Foreign, graduate from the institution, year after year. Many of them have established Schools of their own and have carved a niche for themselves in the field of Fine Arts. In addition to teaching, the Narasimhacharis have been performing professionally since 1969, and have travelled extensively. They have been striving to build a life dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in classical art. In the process of broadening and deepening their knowledge of dance, music and literature, they gave expression to dance-dramas on varied themes. These ranged from the mythological and historical to the contemporary and the abstract.
- The K.S.F. offers courses in Bharatanatyam,Kuchipudi, Vocal Music and Nattuvangam.
- Choreography offered for thematic presentations, dance-dramas or individual dance numbers.
- Composing the music or jethis for a given composition.
- Courses tailored to suit specific needs and requirements.

- Working in collaboration with fellow-artistes, Indian and Western, on interesting and challenging themes.
“We realise that learning is an endless process and art helps one experience the joy of progress in life as well. We are gratified to find our daughters, Lavanya and Lasya, along with all our students, musicians and the rest of us at the K.S.F family reciprocating this feeling.
“Having dedicated our lives to the service of art, we hope to contribute substantially to the awareness of this beautiful medium through teaching and performing.”
– The Narasimhacharis
