The Kalakshetra style is noted for its angular, straight, ballet-like kinesthetics, and its avoidance of Recakas and of the uninhibited throw (Ksepa) of the limbs. This style was developed by Rukmini Devi Arundale. She founded Kalakshetra, later known as the Kalakshetra Foundation, along with her husband, George Arundale, a well-known theosophist, in Adyar, Chennai, in 1936.
