I grew up in the Guru-Shishya tradition, learning from Smt Rajashree Shirke, and I still feel like a student every day. Sometimes I mess up, sometimes I surprise myself, but that’s what keeps it real. ### My Way of Teaching I don’t teach just steps. Kathak is about nritta (pure technique) and abhinay (storytelling). We dive into both, so you get the full experience. Even if you’re scared to sing or go off-key, I get it - I’ve been there too. We learn together. ### How You Can Join - Online classes (Zoom) for group or private sessions - students from all over, from the US to Dubai. - In-person classes in Mumbai (Vile Parle, Juhu, Virar) for all levels. - Kathak diploma courses if you want to go pro, plus help with BA/MA degrees. ### What We Cover - Footwork and chakkars (spins) - we do special Kathak dance workshops for these. - Taal (rhythm) - from Teentaal to Basant taal, you’ll learn to dance in different cycles. - Abhinay - using Kathak storytelling techniques to express emotions, often through thumri. ### Dancing With Live Music You’ll get to interact with live musicians - tabla, vocals, sitar. That sawal-jawab (question-answer) is where the magic happens. ### Performance Opportunities - Student showcases, from baithak (intimate) to big festivals like Rivaayat. - Theatrical productions - once, we did a Lion King Kathak musical with 70 dancers! ### Who Can Join Absolute beginners, intermediate dancers, or those aiming for certification - everyone’s welcome. If you’ve never worn ghungroos or you’re ready for the stage, there’s space for you here. ## Highlights Browse through Pooja Pant's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/pooja_pant_kathak/kathak-classes/featured) - [Video: This is what my online Kathak workshop looks like, with over 50 students joining from all over the world.

I’m Pooja Pant, Kathak dancer and actor, Mumbai based. My Guru, Smt Rajashree Shirke, shaped my dance life – those youth festival days still ring in my head. Now, I get to teach my students choreos I learnt 20 years ago, feels surreal! Lost my brother, Abhijeet, so started Abhiratna Awards for young artists, that’s my way of remembering him. I still goof up on vocals, but learning never stops, hai na? Sometimes I just burst out singing during rehearsals! ### My work - **Kathak classes & certified courses**: Teaching all levels at my Mumbai branches and online. Limited seats, we offer certified Kathak courses too. - **Workshops for dancers**: I run workshops on Kathak technique - chakkars, footwork. People join from all over, even at odd hours! - **Performances & choreography**: We do solo, group, and private event shows. Love creating new pieces - inspiration strikes anywhere, anytime. ## More services from Pooja Pant - [Kathak Performances](https://mytribe.in/pooja_pant_kathak/kathak-performances) · ₹20K-1.5L per performance (estimate) - [Choreography Services](https://mytribe.in/pooja_pant_kathak/choreography-services) · ₹8K-1.5L per choreography piece (estimate) - [Kathak Workshops](https://mytribe.in/pooja_pant_kathak/kathak-workshops) · ₹800-2,500 per participant per workshop session (estimate) ## Experts similar to Pooja Pant on mytribe - [Kathak Dance Classes by Eshani Sathe](https://mytribe.in/eshanisathe.kathak/kathak-dance-classes) · ₹1,000-3,000 per student per month (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Kathak Classes & Workshops by Garvita Sharma](https://mytribe.in/garvita.kathak/kathak-classes-workshops) · ₹500-1,500 per class/workshop (1-1.5 hours) (estimate) · Acacia Studio - [Indian Dance Training by Abhibhava Art Academy](https://mytribe.in/abhibhavaartacademy/indian-dance-training) · ₹2,000-4,000 per student per month (8 classes) (estimate) · ABHIBHAVA ART ACADEMY - [Dance Classes & Workshops by Saloni Saraf](https://mytribe.in/salonis/dance-classes-workshops) · ₹900-1,300 per class (estimate) · The Movement Hub - India - [Flamenco Dance Classes & Workshops by Shehzeen Cassum](https://mytribe.in/shehzeen.cassum/flamenco-dance-classes-workshops) · ₹400-1,200 per hour per student (estimate) · 108 Dance Studio - [Bharatanatyam Classes & Workshops by Divya Srikanth](https://mytribe.in/divya_takatarikitatom/bharatanatyam-classes-workshops) · ₹800-2,500 per session (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Dance Classes & Workshops by Urmilla Thakkar](https://mytribe.in/urmilla_thakkar_choreography/dance-classes-workshops) · ₹2,000-4,000 per month (8 sessions) (estimate) · Tarang Studio- dance classes in Bandra - [Dance Classes by Dhruvi Shah](https://mytribe.in/dhruvi.shah.dance/dance-classes) · ₹500-900 per group class (per person) (estimate) · Mumbai South - [Dance Classes and Workshops by Tarang Studio](https://mytribe.in/tarangstudio/dance-classes-and-workshops) · ₹3,200-5,000 per 8-session batch (estimate) · Tarang Studio- dance classes in Bandra - [Dance Classes by Dhruvi Shah](https://mytribe.in/dsd_choreography/dance-classes) · ₹400-2,500 per session (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Dance Classes & Workshops by Apurva Undalkar](https://mytribe.in/apurva_undalkar/dance-classes-workshops) · ₹350-800 per session (estimate) · Avighnaa The Creative Hub ## Book To book Pooja Pant, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Kathak%20Classes%20by%20Pooja%20Pant.)
