Kathakali, Koodiyattam, Mohiniyaattam, Thullal and Panchavaadyam.

Training in art-disciplines at Kalamandalam essentially adheres to the ancient Gurukula sambradaaya (The traditional mode of education which calls for a deep bond between the teacher and the student). Kalamandalam is strictly a residential center of learning. Veteran teachers and talented students are its inestimable wealth. For art-recitals held in Kalamandalam and outside, artiste-teachers and students participate.

They have represented India in many an international dance and theater festival.
