SMCA
SMCA History
“Smt. Sushila Mhaske Cultural Academy (SMCA)” was established in the year 1998 and within a short span time we became a well recognized institute in Maharashtra. We believe in “working together works “ & started creating our own path in the field
- Social Causes
- Arts and
- Sports
Since last 14 years, we are also honoring the legendary personalities associated in their fields by (Maharashtra Gaurav Puraskar) awarding them for their valuable contributions in their respective fields.
- Several students have sought education from us in the vicinity of music, dance, skating, yoga, gymnastic, robotics, martial art, drama, drawing and art and craft. We also provide special concessions for financially weak students.
- We not only teach students, but also give them a strong platform to show their skills. We also help them to build successful careers. Many of our students have made it to the limelight.
- We thus put our step forward and continue to grow and make ordinary people with extra ordinary determination.

Dance
Dance can teach & develop various skills in physical, mental and emotional growth.
Dance provides a way to learn kinesthetically and allows students to experience new ways to communicate and express meaning. The creative process of dance encourages students to think critically, imaginatively, collaboratively, and to express themselves in a new and different way. Students are introduced to the physical and mental benefits of the study of dance.
The ultimate goal of a fine arts curriculum is to enable students to be proficient creators, performers, critics, listeners, and observers of the arts. Last but importantly, it is a fun way of exercise.
Music
Music can be defined as a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, it makes the people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.
Music education also brings higher thinking to our children. It allows them to think about complex patterns (where does my part fit into the whole? How can I make my part sound better? What are some tiny adjustments I can make to adjust tone or intonation? How does this music and these different parts fit together?). It almost leads to a philosophical environment. As one can see, music is very important in our lives. It is frequently underestimated and thought of as "easy" or "play time," but it's not that at all. Students frequently appear to be having fun while they are making music because music is fun (though not easy).


Singing
Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in, they still know good music when they hear it.
Songs are both spoken and heard. Children do not have to be able to read in order to learn a song. And because songs are filled with rhymes, alliteration, and different sound patterns, they actually celebrate the sounds of language. Its a great way of learning
Yoga
Unlike modern day exercises, which concentrate only on the body or on the mind,
- yoga techniques provide a holistic approach towards your welfare. Asanas help you to improve your strength and flexibility, so that you can carry out your daily activities unhindered.
- Deep breathing techniques help in removal of toxins in the body and aid in relaxation.
- Yoga can be a great weight loss and toning tool.
- It helps in healing and nourishing the body. Meditation calms your mind and gives you clarity of thought.
Yoga is the only form of fitness regime that acts in a wholesome manner on all of one’s body parts. This organic rub down and stimuli, subsequently, does us good by keeping disease at bay. It also helps provide an intuition, at the first possible instance, of a probable advent of illness or disorder.
– All those muscles that which become weak flabby or are sagging are firmed up by getting rid of excess fat and floppiness.


Skating
Roller Skating is a form of recreation as well as a sport and can also be a form of transportation. It can prove to give big support in the growth and physical fitness of a child. It teaches children control and accuracy while maintaining speed. Skating involves jumps, spins, skill and style. Children understand the importance of team effort and accurate synchronization while learning the moves. To sum it up, Roller Skating is a fun and a sporty way to fitness and recreation.
Martial Art
Martial arts or fighting arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat. Martial arts all have a very similar objective: defend oneself or others from physical threat. Martial arts are considered as both an art and a science, but may also take the form of dance.
Through systematic practice in the martial arts a person's physical fitness is boosted (strength, stamina, flexibility, movement coordination, etc.,) as the whole body is exercised and the whole muscular system is activated
Martial arts vary widely, and may focus on a specific area or combination of areas, but they can be broadly grouped into focusing on strikes, grappling, or weapons training.

Art & Craft
Arts and crafts comprise a whole host of activities and hobbies that are related to making things with one's hands and skill. These can be sub-divided into handicrafts or "traditional crafts" (doing things the old way) and "the rest". Some crafts have been practised for centuries, while others are modern inventions.Most crafts require a combination of skill, speed, and patience, but they can also be learnt on a more basic level by virtually anyone .we have been running evening & day classes and workshops offering to teach basic craft skills in a short period of time.
- Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep
- Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher & pupil are located as the same.
Drama
Acting is the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in theatre, television, film, or any other storytelling medium who tells the story by portraying a character and, usually, speaking or singing the written text or play.
- Acting requires a wide-range of skills, including vocal projection, clarity of speech, physical expressivity, an emotional facility, a well-developed imagination, and the ability to interpret drama.
- Acting also often demands an ability to employ dialects, accents and body language, improvisation, observation and emulation, mime, and stage combat. Many actors train at length in special programs or colleges to develop these skills.
Training start at a very young age. Our classes introduce young actors to different aspects of acting and theatre from scene study to musical theatre. Aspiring young actors may or may not go on to study at a University or Conservatory program
