Course Summary

Semi-classical dance is a dance style that uniquely blends Indian classical forms with interesting elements and flavours of other dance styles. This style incorporates elegance, grace, postures, and expressions. It is a non-structured style where there are a lot of variations in body movements, unlike Classical dance forms. The steps and choreographies are not complicated as in Indian classical dance forms. Semi-classical dance allows us to explore and variate our choreography making it easygoing and more interesting, keeping the authenticity of Indian classical dance forms intact. No matter what age you are, you can pick up learning Semi -classical dance. If this triggers your curiosity, then this course designed by the highly trained choreographer, Monikka Kalurkar, is an ideal bid for you.

Lets us learn and explore a beautiful journey of semiclassical Dancing together!
