Kathak Dance Classes

My Take on Kathak

I see Kathak as more than dance - it's a way to find satisfaction and contentment, a moving meditation that helps me keep my head straight. Not going to lie, sometimes it's tough. You sweat, you stumble, but then you hit that moment of pure bliss - that's when it all makes sense. For me, this art is rooted in Indian tradition, but it’s also about finding your own path.

What Happens in Class

We don't just count steps. I bring in drama, rhythm, speed, poetry, and a bit of history. You’ll see how storytelling through movement is at the heart of Kathak. Sometimes it gets mathematical - those rhythm patterns can twist your brain! But there’s beauty in that challenge.

• ShastraInMotion: We take old texts and make them move. Feels pretty cool when you get the hang of it.

Who Can Join

If you’re a total newbie or your feet just tap when you hear music, come through. Kids, adults, even folks who've danced before but lost touch - there's space for everyone. I welcome anyone wanting to connect with Indian classical dance for beginners or those chasing mindfulness in Kathak practice.

How We Learn

• In-person classes across Bengaluru: Jayanagar, Indiranagar, NR Colony, Banashankari. Studio vibes, group energy.
• Online classes too: You can join from anywhere, group options for beginners and for those who’ve got at least 2 years under their belt.

What You Leave With

We start with the basics, build up your rhythm, and work on grace. Kathak’s not about being perfect - it’s about connecting deeper with yourself. You’ll get stronger, but mostly, you’ll find a bit of stillness in all that movement.
