Whether we are celebrating an anniversary or a student's milestone, these moments reinforce the bond we build during practice. Our studio is not just a place to learn steps. We view Kathak as a lifelong journey, and our community reflects the deep, personal connections that come with the traditional *guru-shishya parampara*. Whether you are training in our small batches in Banashankari, Jayanagar, or Koramangala, the environment is designed to be supportive for both kids and adults. We limit our class sizes to 6-12 students to ensure that every dancer receives direct feedback on their *Hastas* (hand gestures) and posture. This focused approach is why our students feel comfortable performing on stage during our annual shows. We believe that regular practice, combined with a bit of *masti* (fun) and community events like Teacher’s Day, keeps the enthusiasm high, just like it was when I first started dancing at twelve. If you are worried about whether you are 'ready' for a class, please know that we welcome beginners with open hearts. We provide the technical foundation—rhythm mathematics, spins, and body alignment—while making sure the process remains joyful. If you cannot make it to our physical studios, our online sessions are adapted specifically for home practice, ensuring you get the same quality of verbal correction and technical guidance no matter where you are. ## About Sohini Karanth I founded Sāttvatī to pass down the Kathak traditions I learned from my own gurus. For me, my students are like my kids, and seeing them grow, perform, and find joy in the rhythm is the greatest reward of my teaching.
