Lasya Akademi of Mohiniyattam is a renowned Mohiniyattam institution that offers rigorous scheduled training. Founded by Pallavi Krishnan in 1995, Lasya Akademi is known for producing well-rounded students, who have theoretical and practical experience in the art of Mohiniyattam. Students gain knowledge and experience from a variety of sources, including eminent scholars and experts in the field, who offer regularly scheduled workshops throughout the year. Pallavi believes that to produce high quality dancers, a combination of traditional schooling (guru-shishya parampara) and an open attitude gives the students the disciplined training they need while still allowing them to explore their own creativity. This helps to ensure that the dancers who graduate from Lasya Akademi are educated and self-confident.

Additionally, short-term, customized intensive courses are available to those who desire them. Short-term courses are meant to encourage students from other locales to pursue their passions and interests in dance. Lasya Akademi warmly welcomes students from all backgrounds.

Pallavi Krishnan is the Artistic Director of Lasya Akademi of Mohiniyattam.
Lasya Akademi functions in both Thrissur (Trichur) of Kerala and in Kolkata (Calcutta).
