Graceful female movements, distinctive hand gestures and clear facial expressions illustrating the lyrics, rhythmic music and colorful costumes – this is the essence of Indian Bollywood dance.
During the classes you can expect a lot of energy and a smile. The technique greatly improves motor coordination, body awareness and general condition. Eyes, hands, hips and feet will dance as they stamp out the beat.
Using movement vocabulary base on kathak we will improvise, searching for our own authentic movement as well as whirl.
A journey to your ownself in a safe, friendly environment. Leaded on the base of solid technic but with wide space to express individuality.
In the first semester project will be created to the music from illustrative Himalaya soundtrack.
