Kathak classes
Learn the classical Indian dance Kathak from internationally known teacher and choreographer Pallabi Chakravorty. The class sessions are intimate and intense. In addition to movement, the emphasis is on learning rhythmic patterns, vocalization, and emotional expressivity. Using Kathak vocabulary, Pallabi’s students learn to create their own dance, from contemporary choreographies to Bollywood numbers. Learn to move as a soloist and as a group performer.
Kathak classes are run on a semester basis. Students are selected through interviews. Regular attendance is a must.
