Balasaraswati, encouraged by an administrator at the Music Academy in Madras, established a dance school in association with the institution.

Through her international engagements as well as her activities in India, especially in Madras, Balasaraswati not only exposed countless audiences to the traditional style of bharata natyam but also trained many new practitioners of the art form.
