Kathak and Bollywood Classes for Classical enthusiasts
Kathak is one of the classical jewels of India where the powerful footwork (Tatkar) and hand movements (hastakas) are used to tell a story.

With me you will achieve excellence, skills, speed, and receive of the joy of dancing as well. My Background: 13 years of Kathak training in Kalashram (under Mamta Maharaj - daughter of Late Pt. Birju Maharaj) - took part in several performances and competitions. - was a part of CWG (2010) in Delhi - choreographed several pieces for children of age 7 to 15 years My Classes: online classes with a bit of warm up and then Kathak. - Bollywood, semi- classical choreographies - homework to learn theory and practice

I will tailor the lesson to suit your objectives. Classes generally begin with a short warmup, followed by some barre work (any support will do; such as a countertop or chair) and centre work. We will do a short movement phrase implementing some of the elements of the class and also allowing you to further explore your artistry. We will conclude with a brief cooldown.
