Kalaanjali School of Dance has been established with the aim of increasing awareness about Indian classical dance and inculcating a love for dance among children and adults.A learning center for Mohiniyattom and Bharatanatyam, regular weekend and weekday classes are conducted to impart training in mohiniyattom
For the little ones under 7 who are enthusiastic about learning dance, separate classes are held.They are usually not ready for rigorous classical training, hence they are taught dances with steps taken from various Indian dance forms sewn together to match the rhythm.They would be gradually proceeding to narrations of popular fables, fairy tales and mythological tales and enacting various characters through hand gestures and facial expressions.As body gains the required strength and balance for the more rigorous footwork,postures and body movements of classical training,they will find it easier to undergo training in any classical form.
