At our academy, you are not just watching tutorials; you are training with instructors who hold formal degrees from recognized institutions like Prayag Sangeet Samiti and Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya. We focus on real-time posture correction during our live sessions, ensuring your footwork and hand gestures are technically sound, whether you are a beginner looking to understand the basics or an experienced student aiming to clear your certification exams. ### Why Expert Guidance Matters Dance is more than just mimicking movements on a screen. It is about understanding the *Laya* (rhythm), the *Bhav* (expression), and the specific grammar of the *Gharana* you are learning. My team of instructors brings specific expertise to the academy: * **Mansi Prasad:** I lead the curriculum, bringing my Master's degree in Kathak and Hindustani classical vocals to every session. My focus is on making classical forms accessible to everyone, regardless of age or experience level. * **Paritosh Upadhyaya:** Bringing the distinct traditions of the Raigarh gharana, Paritosh is a degree-holder from Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya. He handles our advanced-level students and has a strong background in stage performance and competitive dance. * **Deeksha Mathur:** Deeksha is a certified dancer from Prayag Sangeet Samiti. She specializes in the foundational levels, ensuring that new students build the correct muscle memory and posture before moving to complex compositions. ### Our Training Approach We believe in a structured, step-by-step methodology. We do not rush through the syllabus. Instead, we break down every movement *baareeki se* (with attention to detail). Whether you join our online classes via Zoom or visit us for offline batches in Greater Noida and Patna, our instructors are there to: 1. **Monitor Your Form:** We provide real-time feedback on your spinal alignment, hand mudras, and footwork. 2. **Ensure Conceptual Clarity:** We cover both the practical dance steps and the theory required for certification exams. 3. **Foster a Supportive Environment:** We understand that many students are returning to dance after a long break. Our instructors are trained to be patient, encouraging, and respectful of your pace. If you are serious about pursuing Kathak or Bharatnatyam, we help you prepare for recognized university examinations, giving you a clear path from beginner to advanced certifications. ## About Mansi Shree I started this academy because I believe dance is a feeling, and finding the right guru makes all the difference. My team and I focus on breaking down every step, or *baareeki se*, to ensure you feel confident and expressive, regardless of your age or background.
