Online Kathak Workshops Focused on Technique
Join me on Zoom for live, interactive Kathak sessions. We break down the toughest steps together, whether you are perfecting your chakkars or refining your tatkar speed from home.
A snapshot from another online workshop focused on the technique of `chakkars`. Students ask specific questions about foot placement and speed, and we work through the answers together live.
About Online Kathak Workshops
The biggest hurdle to learning dance online is audio latency. In my Zoom sessions, we skip traditional music tracks and use a specialized electronic Tabla app, which keeps our timing perfectly synced. This way, you do not feel the lag, and we can focus entirely on your footwork and posture without the music drifting, ensuring your riyaaz is as effective at home as it is in the studio.
Our Virtual Classroom
My online workshops are not about just watching a video stream. They are active, two-way sessions designed for students who want technical rigor. We focus primarily on Nritta, the technical side of Kathak, spending significant time on Chakkar mechanics and footwork drills.
The Sawal-Jawab Approach
Learning at home can feel isolating, so I keep the 'sawal-jawab' (question-answer) format at the center of every class. If you are struggling with a specific transition or your knees feel stiff after a set of chakkars, stop and ask. I provide direct, honest feedback on your alignment, posture, and weight distribution. We treat this as a shared practice space, where I can correct your angles just as I would in an in-person studio setting.
Workshop Structure
- Duration: Weekend intensives spanning 2 to 3 days.
- Format: 90 to 120-minute sessions on Zoom with gallery view monitoring so I can see everyone.
- Focus: We start with warm-ups, move into Tatkar (footwork) to build speed and clarity, and end with the mechanics of Chakkars.
Whether you are a beginner looking to set your foundation or an advanced dancer working on complex compositions, these sessions are designed to give you concrete, actionable corrections that you can apply immediately to your daily practice.
