r/ClassicalIndiandance

Want to restart my classical journey . Please advice as researching made me more confused :)

I have like a few years of experience in both Kathak and Bharatnatyam .However , it has been almost 10 years since I have officially received any training .I have been thinking since years to restart my journey and have finally made up my mind.

I start my internship from this month and will be free during my mornings and weekends.

  1. What should I pursue for now like given the constraint above?

  2. I do have an offline class available nearby. I might have some urgent works pop up , so online will always be more accessible I feel like, but there will be no in-person mentoring though(/). What would be better ?

  3. Some online courses or classes that I can pursue as I saw too many and most felt very expensive for me T-T like 2000 for 2 hours and so on .Can someone break it down and help me ?

  4. What courses should I take in what order like names or levels like level 1 etc etc .

PLEASEEEEEEEE HELP ME OUT WHEN YOU GET TIME TO ANSWER T-T . PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DO ANSWER . I AM VERY CONFUSED EVEN AFTER A RESEARCH

Music for Kathak

Hi all! I'm a Kathak student who wants to challenge herself by choreographing her own piece to music that she chooses on her own. Do you all have any recommendations for Indian classical music that can be good for dancing Kathak to? Any pieces that are close to your heart that you think choreography can be set to? Such as old taranas by pandits, newer fusion pieces with Indian classical instruments, or sitar instrumentals? Any Indian classical music that's not Kathak-specific works too. I am trying to stick to classical roots and do not want to work with anything Bollywood, so I'm looking for some inspiration. Thanks much!

I crafted these Natarajar and Mudra earcuffs as an ode to Bharatanatyam. 🌸✨

To me, Bharatanatyam is more than a dance, it is a profound spiritual discipline and an ancient art that reflects my culture. When a dancer’s hands form a mudra to tell a timeless story, they are touching the divine. I wanted to capture that exact, fleeting magic in something tangible. I created these earcuffs featuring the cosmic dancer, Lord Nataraja, and classical mudras as a personal dedication to this ancient art.
