KATHAK CLASSES
Kathak classes are conducted by Courtyard Dancers faculty. Advanced classes are conducted by Pallabi Chakravorty. Class sessions are intimate and intense and are accompanied by live tabla. In addition to movement, the emphasis is on learning rhythmic patterns, vocalization, and emotional expressivity. Using Kathak vocabulary and associated poetry, Pallabi’s students learn to infuse their dance with their own thinking. CD members are given performance opportunities on professional stage on a regular basis. They are also given opportunities to learn and work with renowned dancers and choreographers, who visit the group as guest artists.
Kathak classes are run on a semester basis. Regular attendance is a must.
