It requires 6-8 years of training before you perform Arangetram. Pushpaarpanam Art of Dance Class prepares students with dedication, vigorous practise and full concentration for their first public performance as 
balarnadanam in normal an artist. After training of the 6-7 years student is ready for the first performance.
Pushpaarpanam Art of Dance Class focus on mastery over the technique of movements to achieve grace, balance, suppleness, physical endurance and a faultless sense of rhythm and perfection. Arangetram is a major event in the dance student's life. It is the culmination of many years of learning dance and Indian culture arts..
The student rises to a new level of performance, and moreover, develops the discipline to achieve a long term goal in dancing and teaching as trainer or choreographer as mentor for junior students. As with any graduation, it is much more than a stamp of approval by trainer and examiner in their exams. "To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s aim." Need to see and view by parents and students before knowing what is Indian classical dance means on Bharathnatiyam before going on to the proper stage call arangam means stage for 1st performance by guidance of Dance Trainer to proof her or him  as good Dancer.
