Kathak-inspired choreography. Bollywood music. Your level. These open-level workshops combining the beauty of Kathak with the energy of Bollywood. Each workshop focuses on learning a Kathak-inspired choreography to Bollywood music, with modifications and variations provided throughout the class so dancers can adapt the choreography to their own experience and ability.
- Learn a semi-classical Bollywood routine using the foundations of Kathak
- Express yourself through graceful feminine moves, in Ida’s signature Bolly-Kathak style
- Have fun with a friendly group of adult students
- This is not a technical class, come to have fun and not worry about getting the steps ‘right’.
- This class is open to all skill levels, with modifications provided throughout to make the choreography accessible to different skill levels.
- Workshops are focused on learning a routine rather than detailed Kathak technique (for students wanting a more technique focused class, we strongly recommend one of our courses instead).
- Refund Policy: We do not allow for refunds, exchanges or transfers once the purchase has been made. Please consider your commitment before signing up for the class.
Whether you’re new to Kathak or an experienced dancer, you can learn, challenge yourself and enjoy the choreography at a level that feels right for you.
