Katha Dance Theatre begins another year of Kathak (North Indian classical dance) instruction.
KDT’s rigorous curriculum encourages self-expression and creativity while providing high-quality, authentic Kathak education of the Lucknow tradition. Katha Dance Theatre’s mission is to provide access to high-quality Kathak dance education for students of all ages and abilities.
Classes emphasize strong classical Kathak technique, graceful movements, intricate footwork, pirouettes and storytelling. New dancers are introduced to the fundamentals of classical Kathak dance with a focus on its technique, terminology, and execution of dance syllables along with elements of storytelling. Returning students build upon their established technique and skill level as they advance their ability in the classroom.
Kathak is so much more than a dance style. It promotes artistic expression and creativity; increases flexibility, agility, and grace; establishes strong mind-body connections and coordination; and provides important cultural context and knowledge.
Kathak is also to any skill level; all dancers over the age of 6 are welcome!
Classes for new beginners will take place on Saturdays, 9:00-10:00am (children ages 6-10), and Saturdays, 3:00-4:00pm (youth ages 11-17 and adults). Learn more and enroll here: https://www.kathadance.org/our-school/classes/
