Learn Kathak and Semi-Classical Dance with Tanvi

From 20.26 € /h

Experience the grace of Kathak and the expressive beauty of Semi-Classical Bollywood dance in my 45 to 60-minute live webcam sessions. These classes are designed for dancers of all levels—whether you're just beginning or want to deepen your practice. We’ll start with Kathak basics such as posture, tatkaar (footwork), hastak (hand gestures), and chakkars (spins), gradually moving into advanced elements like layakari (rhythmic play), abhinaya (expression), and complex compositions. Each session balances technique with creativity, nurturing both form and feeling.

Alongside classical training, you’ll learn semi-classical dance choreographies on popular Bollywood songs, combining traditional Kathak elements with modern style. With over 15 years of Kathak training and professional expertise in folk, ballet, and contemporary dance, I bring versatility to every class. As a dance educator for over 5 years, I ensure my teaching is student-friendly, structured, and expressive. Whether you're dancing for passion or performance, these classes will help you grow with confidence and grace.

Classes, choreography and staging! in person or virtually

Are you going home and want to do something special? Let's do it together, whether it's a dance, a performance, or whatever you want—alone, with your partner, family, bridesmaids, or whoever you want. There are two options: I'll teach you how to dance the genre you're going to dance plus the choreography, or I'll just teach you the choreography. It's up to you.

The cost of creating choreographies depends on their duration (in addition to the cost of the class and/or rehearsal).

All ages and levels, don't wait any longer!

📌It doesn't always take two for things to work...
To begin to connect, assimilate and experiment with new KNOWLEDGE, the most IMPORTANT thing is the body, the attitude, perseverance and a great pinch of confidence!
I always like to approach the codes of different dance disciplines, based on structures that work on the physical, rhythmic, and creative aspects.
There is an idea that Tango is difficult to learn, and of course if we approach it with that label, it will be that way. Starting from the main concept of tango, WALKING, something that we all do most of the time, dancing tTANGO is within everyone's reach.🤗
Another very important point is the way to assimilate and understand it 😉😅
❤️‍🔥What will the classes be like, you ask?
I'll tell you a little bit, we are going to develop the structure in the work of weight changes, the step, projection of the walk, the pivot, understanding the kinesphere individually and as a couple translated into the hug, the turns and the spiral torso to understand the momentum in various exercises, the eights so famous in tango, the basic step and universal exit, walks with the concept of lanes and much more from various sequences that familiarize you with the technical needs to be able to perform the steps without leaving aside the dynamics, pulse, accent and compas of the tango. Everything will be raised in the background in a more organic way. It's not just about learning individual steps, and then...what do we do 🧐? It is not the form that should take the leading role, but the way in which you express that form.
We will also let your creative and playful side be part of the process, through a tool that I consider very valuable, which is improvisation 👌 since it allows you to find your own style and recognize your strengths and weaknesses to continue growing in your passion for dance.
With all these tools, entering the world of more complex sequences and why not, creating your own, will be one more step and not an impossible challenge to achieve.🤩
Don't forget that the steps that are known today and a large part of the sequences emerged from a restless and creative mind, which explored synonymous with IMPROVISE❗️
Let's go through the process together and hold each other in a hug.

I offer adapted dance classes for people with limited mobility and wheelchair users — online or at home. Indian dance Bollywood makes extensive use of hand gestures, eye and head movements, and torso expressions (there’s even a separate genre called gesture dance), which makes it perfectly suited for learners of all physical abilities.

In class, we also use accessories such as candles and scarves. Dance brings vibrant emotions, energy, physical activity, and connection with a confident instructor. It’s a joyful way to spend your time, moving to world-famous Bollywood hits!

In this class, I would introduce students to a variety of dance styles coming from India. This includes Bollywood, Desi Hip-Hop, folk and classical fusions, and Indian classical styles such as Kuchipudi. If learning about different cultures interests you, or you miss dancing in South Asian styles, I teach all levels from beginner to advanced and would be happy to accomodate for any needs. Each class involves one short choreography, which by the end of a 60-minute class you would be able to master.

In my classes, I work with mindfulness, presence, energetic expansion, and ancestry as foundational elements of the creative process. Through embodied practices, I guide students in developing self-awareness, a deeper connection with themselves, and a conscious interaction with space. This work can be directed both toward the construction of truthful, grounded characters and toward more abstract explorations, engaging the interior dimensions of each individual and their unique expressive potential.
I am a Brazilian actress and educator based in Glasgow, with over 13 years of experience in theatre and butoh. With a background in Dramatic Arts, Psychoanalysis, and Literature, my work is grounded in ongoing field research and embodied practice, bringing together lived experience and teaching. I have been teaching since 2012 and successfully transitioned to online instruction in 2019, building a loyal and engaged community of students in Brazil. I am now excited to expand my work and share this practice with students worldwide.
As a member of the Brazilian theatre group Coletivo MÓ, I specialize in physical theatre techniques inspired by masters such as Luís Otávio Burnier, Jerzy Grotowski, Eugenio Barba, Kazuo Ohno, Tatsumi Hijikata, and Tadashi Endo. My practice also incorporates elements of Butoh dance and clow, creating a rich, multidimensional approach to performance, creativity, and self-expression.

Awaken the Shakti within, by enlivening the body that we so easily neglect.
The sensual is a powerful force that can lay dormant when not moved and nurtured. This class combines ancient forms of dance such as belly dance and the sensual ceremony of the body, to find and ignite the deity within.
Belly dance was birthed to honour and alleviate childbirth and period pains, so is deeply rooted in the divine feminine. An energy so essential for the world and its life force.
Sensual ceremony of the body invites a presence to be with the body, activating a deep listening, to re-imagine the relationship of the holy trinity within, mind, body and soul.
I welcome you with warmth and presence.

I offer ballet and contemporary dance classes for children, teenagers, and adults — from beginners to advanced dancers.
My teaching combines the precision of classical ballet with the freedom, musicality, and fluidity of contemporary dance. Technique, body awareness, and artistic expression are equally important in my classes.

With international stage experience in Europe and Japan, I bring both professional structure and creative openness to my teaching.

I offer a unique combination of Booty techniques such as Twerk, Wine, Jiggle or Shake as well as flexibility training, to help you achieve confidence in your dance. My teaching combines technique training, body awareness and mobility to help students perform dance movements with control, rhythm and expression. I work with a mix of explanation, demonstration and practical exercises so that movements can be built step by step and truly understood.

A typical session begins with a warm-up and mobility exercises, followed by technique training for hip movements like Twerk, Wine, Jiggle or Shake. We then practice variations and combinations to develop rhythm, control and expression. I also integrate stretching and mobility exercises to improve flexibility and stability.

Creating a supportive and relaxed learning atmosphere is very important to me.

My classes are definitely suited for beginners as well as dancers who want to improve their hip mobility, body control and sense of rhythm.
