Dance

Our specialty is Kathak, a North Indian classical dance form, with origins preceding the Mughal Era. We teach a mixture of the three gharanas, Lucknow, Jaipur, and Varanasi. We also teach classical-contemporary fusion, Bollywood, and regional ethnic dance styles. Our classes are of medium-intensity (perfect for exercise) and aim to develop grace and passion in a dancer.
