About this collection
These intensives move significantly faster than our weekly classes. You will spend seven hours over a weekend diving into specific choreographies, focusing as much on character development and emotional expression as you do on the actual footwork. This format is designed for those who want to commit to a specific style, work with props like veils, and leave with a finished, polished routine rather than just learning a temporary combination.
Beyond the Basics: Our Fusion Approach
Indian Fusion is not just about combining steps. It is a dialogue between different movement languages. In these weekend intensives, we weave together the structure of Oriental dance, the grace of Kathak, and the freedom of contemporary styles. We explore how to interpret music, whether it is Qawali or Bollywood, through the lens of 'Bhava' (emotion) and 'Rasa' (flavor).
What to Expect
Our intensives are split across two days, totaling seven hours of guided instruction. We don’t just teach choreography. We deconstruct it. We look at technique drills, talk about the history of the movements, and practice using props like veils or dupattas to add dimension to your performance.
We limit our group sizes in our Koramangala studio to ensure every dancer gets individual correction. Because these sessions are physically and mentally engaging, we build in time for Q&A and cooldowns, ensuring you walk away with both the technical skills and the context of the dance.
Logistics and Options
- Hybrid Attendance: If you cannot make it to our Koramangala studio, we offer hybrid access via Zoom so you can participate from anywhere.
- Levels: While these are deep dives, we keep the breakdown slow enough for beginners to grasp, while providing enough complexity for experienced dancers to refine their practice.
- Takeaways: You will receive a digital certificate of participation, and we record a final group performance at the end of the second day on your smartphones so you have a record of your progress.
Whether you are looking to refine your isolations or simply want to try something that feels different from your standard gym fitness routine, these intensives provide the space to experiment without judgment.
Nrityakosh
I started Nrityakosh because I wanted a space where dance is treated as an art form with its own history and soul, not just a fitness module. I invite you to join me in these intensives where we use our bodies to tell stories, explore new movement languages, and learn together as a community.
