Description:
This class is an introduction to Kathak, one of India’s classical dance forms. Dancers will explore basic footwork, spins, hand gestures, and simple rhythms while learning how movement can tell a story. Through short combinations, students will begin building coordination, musicality, and confidence. The main focus is on creating a strong foundation while laying the groundwork for more advanced study in the future.
What’s Included:
- 2026 Moksha Arts T-Shirt
- Training in Kathak dance foundations, performance skills, and confidence-building
- Semester-end dancer-only showcase on Thursday, December 11th @ 5pm (for Moksha Arts dancers only)
Communication:
All Moksha Arts communication happens via email. Please be sure to register with an email you check regularly.
Teacher: Harmeet Kamboj
At Moksha Arts, we lovingly call our teachers “Didi,” which means older sister. Our Didis are more than instructors. They are friends, mentors, and role models who nurture each dancer with care, encouragement, and inspiration.
