Kathak Dance Classes near me in Chennai, India

I was born with dance. Born into an art family to a dance teacher, I have been in the environment of music and dance performances and teaching, my whole life. Apart from learning Bharathanatyam from my mother since the age of one, I have studied Kathak for more than 15 years and have passed the course exams with distinction. I have been performing since the age of 1 and a half in both classical and non-classical dance form. I have been teaching for over 15 years. I also enjoy and professionally perform other styles like freestyle, hip-hop, belly dance, Indian folk styles, Tamil kuthu, Bollywood dance etc. Apart from being my life's passion, it has also taught me most of the values I have learnt in life, and so can it for anyone who wishes to go down the path of dance. It, being a genuinely free form of expression can reduce and even eliminate the stresses that plague us these days! Dance has been my best friend, and I wish to make that true for others too, for I truly believe everyone can be a dancer and a good one at that!

My goal is not just to teach steps, but to nurture disciplined, soulful dancers who understand and cherish the deeper values of this classical art form.

I am a Kathak Practioner since 20 years and have strong base of Jaipur Gharana. I have been working with Pt. Sandeep Mahavir, who is a Sangeet Natak Akademi Awardee and belongs to the origin of Jaipur Gharana.

I have been practising Kathak for the past 5 years and have developed a strong understanding of its technical foundations, movement vocabulary, rhythm, coordination and expression. My teaching approach focuses on helping students understand not just what to do, but how and why the movement works. I break down complex techniques into simple, clear steps and help students develop body awareness, coordination, posture, rhythm and confidence. I especially enjoy teaching students who are new to Kathak or come from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. As someone from South India, I understand how unfamiliar some of the terminology, movements and cultural references can initially feel. I am able to explain and translate concepts in a relatable way, making Kathak easier to understand and connect with. I also believe that every body learns differently. I observe each student's movement patterns, strengths and areas that need attention, and adapt my teaching accordingly. My aim is to create a personalised learning process where students can understand their own bodies, build a strong technical foundation and gradually become confident and expressive Kathak dancers.
