About Indian Classical Dance

We live and breathe dance. For me, Indian Classical Dance is a mix of tradition, devotion, and pure joy. Seeing bachhe (kids) and adults pour their energy into our studio is honestly the highlight of my day.

What I Teach

I teach Kathak, Bharatnatyam, and Semi-Classical fusion dance. All three have their own vibe - from storytelling in Kathak to the detailed Bharatnatyam Adavus basics, and then mixing things up with some contemporary music in Semi-Classical.

My Approach

  • Kathak’s all about rhythm. I make sure you get the Tatkar (footwork) and Chakkars (spins) right from the start.
  • We jam with live tabla accompaniment, so you really feel the beat and understand how movement connects with music.
  • Bharatnatyam training focuses on strong technique and the reasons behind each move, with references to the Natyashastra.
  • Semi-Classical is for anyone who loves classical but wants to groove to today’s hits - it’s expressive and fun.

Why Join Me?

I’ve had students learn directly from legends like Guru Shinjini Kulkarni at our studio. Doesn’t matter if you’re a total beginner, a teenager, or a lady looking to reconnect with dance - everyone’s welcome.

The Guru-Shishya Parampara

This tradition means everything to me. I’m just a shishya (disciple) trying to pass on what my Gurus gave me. Watching students perform with confidence is what keeps me going.

My Story

Namaskar! We call ourselves Thirkan, that feeling when music hits and your body just moves. Started small, now we’ve got studios in Noida and Dubai, but our heart beats the same everywhere. We teach everything from Kathak with live tabla to Bollywood and Zumba dance workout. Our proudest moment? Guru Shinjini Kulkarni ji trained our students for Aarohan 2025. Hum bohot aabhari hain (so grateful). Our story is all about dance, dedication, and community.
