Abstract	The evolution of digital technology has significantly influenced the education sector, including the field of performing arts. Bharatanatyam, a classical Indian dance form deeply rooted in cultural and spiritual traditions, now faces the challenge and opportunity of incorporating modern technological tools into its teaching and learning methodologies. This paper explores the current digital landscape of Bharatanatyam education, evaluates existing platforms, and identifies key technological gaps. It proposes a comprehensive design framework for developing culturally respectful, AI-powered, and interactive applications that align with the traditional pedagogy of Bharatanatyam. The study adopts a qualitative, mixed-methods approach, including expert interviews, literature review, and user feedback. The findings suggest that when designed ethically, digital tools can augment the learning experience and broaden access without compromising the essence of the art form.
