Indian (Semi-Classical) Dance One of the most comprehensive and oldest dance forms in the world. It’s simple, yet equally beautiful choreographed in the popular Indian dance style emphasizing on foot-work, hand gestures, and eye and neck movements filled with grace and elegance. It is ideal for beginners who will be able to learn how to use gestures and facial expressions to show the poetic or emotional meaning while combining rhythmic gaits and postures.

Kuchipudi is indigenous to the state of Andhra Pradesh and differs from the other five classical styles by the inclusion of singing. Kuchipudi originated in the 17th century with the creation by Sidhyendra Yogi of the dance-drama Bhama Kalapam, a story of Satyabhāma, the charming but jealous wife of the god Krishna.

About 3 to 4 hours, it encompasses expression using facial and hand gestures, rhythmic movements, and describing a story..
