Trividha
Sanskrit for threefold. An app for Indian classical dance schools, built around the three people involved in a student's progress — the teacher, the student, and the parent — each seeing exactly what they need.
Trividha launch film · 1 min · first shown at Nartanaalaya, September 2026
Three people,three views of thesame student
Each role sees what it needs and nothing else. The loop below is what the app is actually for: a teacher’s mark reaches a parent without the parent asking, and a student’s practice reaches a teacher without a message thread.
Guru
01 / 03
Teacher
Runs the class and sees everything: who came, who practised, who has been quietly falling behind.
- Mark attendance for a class in a few taps
- Set homework and watch the videos that come back
- Track fees paid and outstanding, by hand, no card processing
- Message a parent about one student without a group chat
Shishya
02 / 03
Student
Sees what to practise this week and what they have already done. Nothing else.
- Read this week's homework
- Record and submit a practice video from a phone
- Watch their own practice streak build
- See where they stand on the class practice board
Poshaka
03 / 03
Parent
Knows what is going on without having to ask their child or interrupt the teacher.
- See attendance and practice at a glance
- Confirm or explain an absence in advance
- Check what has been paid and what is due
- Message the teacher directly
What it does,role by role
The first four are the moments in the film above. All of it was built against the way Nartanaalaya actually runs — its class groups, its families, its fees.
Student
01
Practice that counts itself
Log a session — forty-five minutes of adavus, say — and the streak ring and the weekly total update on the spot. In a bad week, that record is the thing that argues back.
Parent
02
The week, without asking
Class schedule, attendance and practice for their own child, in one view. No more asking “have you practised?” and getting a shrug.
Teacher
03
A register you finish in class
Mark each student present as class begins, with a running count. Every group the teacher runs, across the whole week, in one list.
Teacher
04
Fees, on the record
Record a payment when it is handed over and the outstanding balance updates. Nothing is charged through the app — it only keeps the ledger straight.
Teacher · Student
05
Homework, sent back as video
The teacher sets the week’s homework. The student records it on a phone and submits it, and the teacher reviews it before the next class.
Teacher · Parent
06
Progress, term by term
Attendance, practice hours and homework add up into a record of the term, so progress is something you can point to rather than a feeling.
Parent · Teacher
07
One thread per family
A parent can message the teacher about their own child directly — no group chat, nothing lost between WhatsApp and email.
Everyone
08
On the phone, where class happens
Built to be used on a phone, in the studio and at home. Each role signs in to its own view and sees nothing it doesn’t need.
Why we arebuilding it
A dance school runs on things that are hard to hold in your head: who practised, who missed two weeks in a row, who still owes for February. Most of it currently lives in a spreadsheet and three different message threads.
01
Built for how these schools actually run
Small rosters, family payments, homework that is a video of a child dancing in a living room. Trividha assumes all of that instead of bending a generic studio product around it.
02
Practice is the thing being measured
Attendance is easy to record and tells you little. The app is built around what happens between classes, because that is where the difference between students actually appears.
03
Private by default
Practice videos are visible to the student, their parent, and their teacher. There is no public feed and nothing to share outward.
Where it isright now
Trividha was launched on stage at Nartanaalaya in September 2026, and this school is its first. It was built and tested against Nartanaalaya’s own classes, so that the first version fits a real school rather than an imagined one. When it opens to other schools, this page will say so.
If you run a dance school and want to try it early, join the waitlist.
