About

Kathak isn’t just a dance form for me—it's a journey that started when I was 12 and hasn't lost its magic. Every time I teach my students, it feels like I'm passing on a piece of my own story, connecting us all through the rhythm of "dha dhin dhin dha." There’s something special about seeing them perform what I once learned from my gurus.

How We Learn Together

Here, it’s not just about steps or routines. I follow the old-school guru-shishya parampara Kathak classes style, where respect and dedication matter as much as practice. Classes are a mix of tradition, fun, and hard work. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who’s danced before, you’ll find a batch that fits you—kids, newbies, or those ready for more advanced pieces.

Dancing to live tabla and harmonium is a big deal for us. Feels different, honestly. It really helps you understand the music, not just the moves.

What’s on Offer

  • In-person classes at Banashankari (BSK) 6th Stage, Jayanagar, and Koramangala, or online if you’re not in Bangalore.
  • Kathak workshops for beginners and those wanting to try something new—sometimes we bring in guest teachers or do themed sessions like dance therapy.
  • Regular stage performance opportunities at festivals and events, because sharing your dance is part of growing as a Kathakar.

If you’re curious or even a bit nervous, that’s totally fine. This is a place for anyone who wants to experience Kathak with heart, patience, and maybe a few missteps along the way.

My Story

It’s been ages since Kathak became my world—started at 12, still grooving at 26. My gurus, my parents, always behind me, giving me all the push. Dance isn’t just steps, it’s guru-shishya parampara, passing magic down generations. That’s why I built Sāttvatī School of Dance. My students? My kids. We laugh, mess up, crush it on stage, eat cake on Teacher’s Day. Every small win, every first step, fills me up.

My Work

Our Locations - Main studio’s in Banashankari 6th Stage, with batches at Jayanagar, Koramangala, and online for anyone, anywhere.

How We Teach - Strong basics—posture, footwork, rhythm—but lots of masti (fun). Students are family. We dance, rain or shine.

All Arts Welcome - Not just Kathak! We do community dance workshops and host Bharatanatyam, Odissi, and movement therapy sessions too.

Performances - We hit big stages—Sangeet Natak Akademi, Hosur Natyanjali. Students get to shine, like in our 'ARAMBH' show.
