What You’ll Learn in Our Kathak Dance Classes

At Sarang’s Creations, we follow a curriculum designed to help students grow progressively, mastering the fundamental techniques of Kathak before moving on to more advanced elements.

1. Taal (Rhythm) and Footwork

Kathak is renowned for its intricate footwork, or Tatkar. Students will begin by learning basic rhythmic cycles (taals), focusing on precision and timing. As they advance, they will be introduced to more complex rhythmic patterns and faster tempos.

• Tatkar (Footwork): Learn the foundational steps that form the basis of all Kathak movements.
• Understanding Taal: Get comfortable with the taal structures, such as Teentaal and Jhaptaal, which dictate the rhythmic patterns of Kathak.

2. Chakkars (Spins)

One of the most visually stunning elements of Kathak is its dynamic spins or chakkars. We teach students how to execute these spins with grace, balance, and precision.

• Basic Spins: Beginners will start with simple spins to develop balance and coordination.
• Advanced Spins: As students progress, they will master the art of multiple spins, integrating them smoothly into their performances.

3. Mudras (Hand Gestures) and Abhinaya (Expressions)

Kathak tells stories through a combination of mudras (hand gestures) and abhinaya (facial expressions). Students will learn how to communicate emotions and narratives using these techniques, mastering both subtle and exaggerated expressions.

• Basic Mudras: Learn the most important hand gestures used in Kathak.
• Facial Expressions (Abhinaya): Master the art of conveying emotions like joy, sorrow, anger, and devotion through facial expressions.
• Storytelling: Understand how to use movements and expressions to tell stories rooted in Indian mythology and folklore.

4. Hastak (Hand Movements) and Anga Suddhi (Body Posture)

Students will focus on Hastak, or graceful hand movements, along with maintaining proper body alignment. The course helps students develop fluidity in their upper body movements while staying aligned with Kathak's traditional posture.

5. Choreography and Repertoire

In addition to learning individual techniques, students will be introduced to traditional Kathak compositions and choreographies. Our instructors help students understand how to blend all elements of the dance—footwork, spins, expressions, and gestures—into cohesive performances.

• Gat Bhav: Learn short, expressive stories performed using hand gestures, facial expressions, and footwork.
• Thaats: Slow, graceful movements that highlight balance and poise.
• Tode Tukde: Short, rhythmic compositions that are performed in sync with the beat.

6. Laya (Tempo) and Dynamics

Understanding and maintaining the correct tempo (laya) is crucial in Kathak. Students are trained to start with slow movements and gradually progress to faster speeds, developing control and finesse in their dancing.

• Vilambit Laya: Slow-paced movements that emphasize control and grace.
• Drut Laya: Fast-paced rhythms and intricate footwork that challenge a dancer’s speed and precision.
