The Introduction to Kathak course is your first step into the world of Indian classical dance. With guided video lessons, this course helps you build a strong foundation in Kathak, one of the eight classical dance forms of India. Originating in North India, Kathak (pronounced Kah-tahk) began as a form of storytelling in temples, where dancers shared tales from the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and other ancient scriptures. In this beginner-level course, you will learn the fundamentals of Kathak, including Guru Vandana (prayer to the Guru), basic hand gestures (mudras), footwork (tatkaar), body posture, rhythm, and other essential techniques that form the base for progressing to higher levels of this art form.

Once enrolled, you get immediate access to all lessons, downloadable resources, and practice material. The course includes 4 downloadable files, along with audio tracks for performances, allowing you to switch between video-only and audio-only modes based on your practice needs. You can learn at your own pace from anywhere in the world, without any fixed timelines or interruptions. Although the course is conducted in Hindi, it comes with English subtitles, making it easy for international students to follow along. Every month, we also host live doubt-solving sessions, where learners can interact with instructors and get their questions answered directly.

Upon completion of the course content and assessment, we will get in touch with you to schedule a live online exam, post which you will be eligible to receive a certification in Kathak Level 1. 
This course is the perfect starting point for anyone who wishes to learn Kathak in a structured, flexible, and authentic way.
