Indian Classical Dance - Kathak (Jaipur Gharana)

From 54 C$ /h

Learn Kathak, one of the eight classical dance forms of India. Experience traditional, regular training in Kathak: from foundation to advanced levels, the way it has been taught for generations, whether you're completely new to dance or already have some training.
I trained for over 10 years in India under several gurus, and I currently continue my training under Srimati Swati Sinhaji, a senior disciple of the renowned Pandit Rajendra GanganiJi. I hold the Alankar Purna qualification from Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, one of India's oldest and most respected institutions for classical music and dance.

Classes cover:
Foundational postures, footwork (tatkar), and rhythm patterns (taal)
Spins, expressions, and storytelling through gesture
Traditional compositions, with structured progression as you advance
An introduction to the history and culture behind the art form

Lessons are available one-on-one or in small groups, for both adults and children, in Tallinn. No prior dance experience is needed to begin - just curiosity and a willingness to move. Come experience traditional Kathak training from the foundation level all the way to advanced technique.

Extra information

We dance barefoot and students also begin tying ghungroo (traditional ankle bells), an integral part of Kathak that adds rhythm and resonance to the footwork as technique advances.

✨ Indian Folk Dance – Garba ✨ Circles, Claps & Colors

37 C$ /h

Garba is one of the most popular folk dance forms of India, originating from my home state of Gujarat. It is performed during auspicious festivals, most notably Navratri as well as at wedding celebrations, where entire communities come together to dance in joyful, energetic circles.
I am a native of Gujarat, India, and have been practicing Garba since a very young age, as part of my culture and upbringing. Now based in Tallinn, I'm excited to share this vibrant folk tradition with the community here.
Garba is danced in circles, with rhythmic clapping and swaying movements that revolve around a central point, traditionally accompanied by live drumming and folk songs. It's a joyous, social dance form: easy to pick up, high in energy, and a wonderful way to experience Indian culture, music, and community spirit.
Classes cover:

Basic Garba steps and circular formation patterns
Clapping patterns and coordination with rhythm
Timing and movement flow set to folk music
Full choreographies on a song for groups

Lessons are available for individuals and groups, for both adults and children, in Tallinn. No prior dance experience is needed. Garba is inclusive, welcoming, and meant to be danced together. Come experience the colour, rhythm, and celebration of Gujarat's most loved folk dance.
