A Multi-Day Course meets multiple times over one or more weeks. Learners join the teacher in live video chat sessions at scheduled times. Outside of these sessions, they can take part in a classroom discussion group and message the teacher directly. Longer courses create more opportunities: real-time activities, engaging projects, and interaction with diverse classmates from other states and countries.

There will be 2 theory classes in the course duration to learn the history of Kathak dance and various gharanas and their unique characteristics.

In this class, we shall have fun while learning to express ourselves through hand gestures and foot movements.

Your child will learn a unique way of expression and movement. Expressions and energetic foot movements will make your child glimpse into the ancient world of Indian art. The class shall be taught following a tell and show methodology.

Then introduction to tintal will follow along with the padhant. 

Exploration of tintal through tihai, tukra, tora, paran and a lari. 

Incorporation of the movements learnt in a song.

About Me

My name is Anjan Mandal. I am a Kathak artist from Kolkata. Initially I started with Contemporary and Ballet dance but later I discovered my love for Kathak after watching a few Kathak choreographies in Hindi films. I am a disciple of Shri Sandip Mallick ji. I have been fortunate to have got further insight into the philosophy and nuances of Kathak by attending workshops conducted by Pandit Birju Maharaj ji, Vidushi Saswati Sen ji, Shrimati Mamta Maharaj ji and Shrimati Paramita Maitra ji. I also went to Indonesia to teach at Spins International School to teach Kathak dance.
