When you join our classical batches, you aren't just a student—you are part of a lineage. Every session includes dedicated time for theory, hand gestures, and facial expressions, ensuring that every spin and posture is grounded in technical clarity before we build up to performance. ### Your Journey into Classical Dance Classical dance is a conversation between the body and the soul. At Arnav Amaze, we believe in the power of this heritage, which is why our classes are structured to honor the depth of these art forms. **Kathak (Lucknow Gharana):** Guided by the expertise of our gurus, our Kathak classes focus on the technical purity of the Lucknow Gharana. You will learn the importance of 'bols' (rhythmic syllables), complex footwork (tatkar), and the subtle art of 'abhinaya' (expression). We don't just teach you how to move; we explain the 'why' behind every turn and nod. **Bharatanatyam:** Our Bharatanatyam sessions emphasize discipline, posture, and precision. From the fundamental adavus (basic steps) to intricate hastas (hand gestures), our curriculum ensures a strong foundation. Whether you are a beginner or looking to refine your technique, our classes provide the structured environment you need to excel. **What You Can Expect:** - **Structured Learning:** Each month consists of 8 sessions, balancing practical movement with 10-15 minute theory segments covering Taal, Laya, and the rich history of the dance form. - **Expert Guidance:** Our instructors bring years of experience and authentic lineage, ensuring you receive corrections that help you grow. - **Supportive Community:** Whether you are in our Annapurneshwari Nagar or BEL Layout studios, you will find a group of peers who are as passionate about dance as you are. From preparing for exams to performing at our annual Arnav Habba, we are here to support your classical dance journey every step of the way. ## About Arnav Amaze Namaskara! We are Vasantha and Vinutha, the founders of Arnav Amaze. We started this studio to share the joy of movement, and we are incredibly proud to host gurus who carry the heritage of maestros like Pandit Birju Maharaj ji.
