Kathak: From Basics to Stage
Whether you are taking your first steps or rediscovering your passion, my Kathak classes in Electronic City focus on the Lucknow Gharana style. We blend tradition with fun to help you build confidence and grace.
Here is a glimpse into my beginner-level Kathak class for adults. We are working on a piece from 'Sakal Ban', focusing on synchronized movements and expressions. It's a joy to see them embrace the storytelling of this beautiful art form.
My little Kathak nartakis (dancers) looking absolutely radiant on stage. This performance showcases the foundational postures and formations we practice in our kids' dance classes.
I am so proud of this new batch of young dancers. They learned two full songs with formations and expressions in just five sessions to get ready for their first stage performance. This video shows their journey from practice to the final show.
Taking our dance out of the studio and into the sun. This is a semiclassical piece based on Kathak that I choreographed for my students, showing how versatile classical techniques can be.
A beautiful moment of synchronization from our little Kathak dancers' stage performance. Each student learns to move as one, creating a captivating visual story for the audience.
Having some fun in the studio with my students making a reel for the trending song 'Ghodey Pe Sawaar'. We always find time to blend traditional steps with modern trends.
This choreography was created in just 30 minutes. It shows how quickly my students can learn and adapt, turning a spontaneous idea into a beautifully coordinated sitting choreography piece.
About Kathak: From Basics to Stage
I personally teach the Lucknow Gharana style, focusing on taal (rhythm), laya (tempo), and abhinaya (expression). Whether you are a complete beginner or returning to dance after years, I ensure you get the individual attention needed to refine your posture and build your stage presence, taking you from our studio floor to the final performance.
Your Kathak Journey
Learning Kathak is a journey, and I’m here to guide you through every step of it. My classes in Electronic City are structured to respect the depth of this classical art form while keeping the environment approachable and encouraging.
What You Will Learn
- Foundations: We start with the core of the Lucknow Gharana, mastering the intricate footwork and the subtle storytelling of abhinaya (expression).
- Technique: You will practice taal (rhythm) and laya (tempo) to build a solid base. Every 60-minute session is designed to be rigorous yet fun.
- Small Batches: To ensure you get the correction you need, I limit my group batches to 8-12 students. This means I can personally check your stance and movements, whether we are working on basic drills or complex choreographies.
From Studio to Stage I believe performing is a huge part of learning. It’s where you truly find your confidence. We don’t just practice in front of a mirror; we prep for stage performances, from local festivals to annual showcases. Even if you start as a beginner, my goal is to get you performance-ready with polished formations and expressions.
Certification and Tradition We honor the roots of dance. For my committed students, we offer the Ghungroo Pooja ceremony, a beautiful milestone where you formally earn your ghungroos. We also provide support for affiliated Kathak exams if you are looking to pursue this path professionally or academically.
Whether you are joining us online or in-studio, the focus remains on personal growth, musicality, and the joy of dance.
