About the Course

Students who would enroll in this long-term Kathak course will be exposed to beginner lessons in Kathak, and so, it is recommended only for those students who have not learned this dance form at all.

Learning Kathak offers an opportunity to perform on stage and at various other events. This makes you audacious from the early stages of life. Once built this quality helps in every stage in life not only for dancing but for making powerful presentations and facing large crowds. It definitely makes you more and more self-confident.
