Kathak Dance Classes In Bangalore - Know us

We have been doing Kathak Dance Classes in Bangalore since 2008. It is one of the best noteworthy types of Indian established dance. The root of Kathak is generally credited to the voyaging minstrels of old northern India known as Kathakars or storytellers.The term Kathak is gotten from the Vedic Sanskrit word Katha which signifies “story”, and Kathaka which signifies “he who recounts a story”, or “to do with stories”.Wandering Kathakas conveyed stories from the immense legends and antiquated folklore through the move.

The term Kathak is gotten from the Vedic Sanskrit word Katha which signifies “story”, and Kathaka which signifies “he who recounts a story”, or “to do with stories”.Wandering Kathakas conveyed stories from the immense legends and antiquated folklore through the move, melodies, and music in a way like early Greek theatre. Kathak developed amid the Bhakti development, especially by consolidating the adolescence and stories of the Hindu god Krishna and in addition freely in the courts of north Indian kingdoms.

Kathak is found in three unmistakable structures, named after the urban areas where the Kathak move custom advanced – Jaipur, Banaras and Lucknow. Stylistically, the Kathak move frame stresses cadenced foot developments, decorated with little chimes (Ghungroo), and the development fit to the music. The legs and middle are by and large straight, and the story is told through a created vocabulary in view of the signals of arms and abdominal area development, outward appearances, organize developments, twists and turns. The primary concentration of the move turns into the eyes and the foot developments. The eyes act as a medium of correspondence of the story the artist is attempting to impart. With the eyebrows, the artist gives different facial expressions. The distinction between the sub-conventions is the relative accentuation between acting versus footwork, with Lucknow style underscoring acting and Jaipur style extremely popular for its stupendous footwork.

Kathak as an execution craftsmanship survived and flourished as an oral custom, learnt and improved starting with one age then onto the next verbally and through practice.It changed, adjusted and incorporated the tastes of the Mughal courts in the sixteenth and seventeenth century especially Akbar, was disparaged and declined in the pilgrim British era, at that point was renewed as India picked up freedom and looked to rediscover its antiquated roots and a feeling of national character through expressions of the human experience.

If someone wants to resume after a long gap or even start from the basics, this is the place we can find our destination undoubtedly. There are multiple batches for varying skill levels where individuals are also trained to be exam ready.
The whole atmosphere with ma’am and students around is such a positive ambience one would never regret to be a part of.☺️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joining Neetu mam's class proved to be one of the best decisions of my life. It's been 3 years that I am part of this family now.

Following are few highlights of her dance class and her personality:
1. She is very patient. She gives time to each individual student.
2. After joining her kathak class, I learnt from her that kathak is not just a dance form but it is a lifestyle. From the food to eat, to the way you should breathe, or the way you should stand, the exercise, the emotion expression, the art of connecting with other people. Kathak is alot more than just a dance form.
3. She brings out the best in each student. I saw alot of changes in my personality after joining her class. I gained confidence, better approach towards problem solving in daily life, my body posture. I got relief from my leg pain problem.
4. The best thing about her class is the Positivity. Her vibes are so damn cool and positive.
5. Apart from teaching kathak, she is a great mentor. You can always reach out to her for any type of guidance in life.
6. She conduct classes where students of all age groups are combined, from junior school kids to retired people. It helps alot in learning perspective from different age groups.

In nutshell Neetu's kathak dance class is a family of people from all age groups, from a wide range of professions, learning kathak, having super fun and developing great personalities.

I would personally recommend everyone to join Neetu mam without any doubt.

What my students say

I feel very energetic after doing kathak. kathak deals with the intricate footsteps which is not there in other dance forms. I got to learn about each and every beat of music only because of kathak. I learnt more about feminine side of myself after doing kathak and dance is the perfect way to express one's feelings ....plus I always had a dream of learning the classical dance form so learning kathak was my dream

Ms Sonalika Nayak

In the process of growing up I lost the creativity I use to have in me. That positivity to accept changes, to question things, to take up challenges was lost. I never imagined that I would find old me but I did and all it happened with Kathak. Kathak helped me to be happy from inside. It helped me to learn to control my mind, emotions and focus.

Ms. Tejender Kaur

Dancing always makes me feel alive. But kathak is different, kathak has been a healing for me and provides me emotionally , mentally stability. The more I become disciplined towards it, the more i experienced miracles within myself. I have started feeling confident in myself not only when i am on the dance floor but also in my daily lifestyle(workplace, in relationships) and the reason I believe is- kathak is making me a calm, composed person.
