Come and connect with others who share a love of dance. We participate and organize several dance shows every year to promote new talent and expose the general public to the art and beauty of dance.
Our Gurus are renowned dancers who provide students with the basic skills they need to go on and express themselves fully in the classical dance style of Kathak. Dancers of every level of experience and skill are invited to our workshops. We are also thrilled to welcome dancers with physical limitations or disabilities.
