Authentic Kathak Classes and Performances in Mumbai

The Guru-Shishya Tradition

I believe Kathak is a lifelong sadhana (practice). Having trained under my Guru, Smt Rajashree Shirke, I pass down the same dedication I received. Whether you are in my studio in Juhu, Vile Parle, or Virar, or joining me over Zoom from across the globe, you get the same focus on technique—nritta (pure dance) and abhinay (expressive storytelling).

What to Expect in Class

• Technical Precision: We dedicate time to footwork and chakkars (spins), ensuring your technique is solid to prevent injury. My online classes use real-time feedback to correct your posture.
• The Live Element: When possible, we train with live tabla and harmonium accompaniment. This interaction—that sawal-jawab (musical question and answer)—is where the real magic happens.
• For Every Level: From absolute beginners just learning to stand straight to advanced students preparing for Rangmanch Pravesh (debut performance), there is a place for you. I also offer certified courses for those looking to pursue dance professionally.

Why Learn With Me?

I am not just a teacher; I am a fellow student of the art. I get shy, I go off-key, and I make mistakes—and I encourage you to do the same. Learning dance should not be about perfection on day one; it is about showing up and finding your rhythm. We focus on creating a supportive space where you can explore the cycle of taal and the depth of classical music without the pressure of a rigid, cold environment.
