About Indian Classical & Folk Dance
If you are new to this, don't worry about being perfect. We see many adults and kids walk in nervous about their posture, but our Odissi and Kathak batches are really about finding your own rhythm. Our teachers, like Junahi, are meticulous about form, but the vibe in the studio is always encouraging and never intimidating. You will see us break down complex mudras into simple steps so you can actually enjoy the movement while you build your strength and grace.
Our Approach to Tradition
At Stance, we believe classical dance isn't just about rigid steps; it is about 'Abhyasa'—the beautiful, consistent practice that brings you into your own groove. Whether you are here for Odissi or Kathak, we focus on helping you find that connection between your mind and your body.
The Forms We Teach
- Odissi: We focus on the signature 'Tribhanga' posture and the fluid, emotive storytelling that makes Odissi so captivating. Our faculty, including graded artists, ensures you understand the nuances behind every gesture.
- Kathak: Known for its rapid footwork and intricate spins, our Kathak sessions in South Delhi are designed to build your stamina and coordination. It’s a fast-paced, rhythmic journey that feels as good as it looks.
Why Train With Us?
We keep our batch sizes manageable in our Jungpura extension studio. This ensures you get personalized corrections rather than generic instructions from the back of the room. We also bridge the gap between tradition and modern fitness; you will find that the core stability you build here supports your performance in other styles like Bollywood or Contemporary.
From our kids' batches where we introduce rhythm through play, to adult workshops for those picking up a classical form later in life, everyone finds a space here. If you are preparing for classical exams or just want to deepen your understanding of Indian performing arts, you'll find a community that cheers for your progress, not just your performance.
Stance Dance Studio
We are a bunch of dance enthusiasts who believe in keeping the magic alive. Led by our artistic director Himani Khurana, our studio in Jungpura is less of a classroom and more of a creative family where tradition meets modern rhythm. We love seeing our students transform as they master these classical forms.
