Rhythms of self-expression at Laya Academy

Founded by French ballerina Alizé Biannic, the Academy blends dance, music, and acting to train Nepali performers in global-style musical theatre while embracing local stories.

Imagine the melody of jazz ringing in your ears and the theatrical choreography of a group moving in perfect sync, as you wait eagerly for each part of the performance. This form of stage art is known as musical theatre, in which songs and dance drive the acting and tell their own story.
