This series offers an introduction to and appreciation for one of India's most unique classical dance forms: Kathakali.

 

Kathakali is a "story play" genre of art from Kerala (South-western India) and is derived from 2 words... Katha = Story

and Kali = Dance.  Over 6 sessions this Fall students will learn the foundations of Kathakali body postures, hand gestures, facial expressions and rhythms for dance.

     Storytelling through Dance 

   Youth Choreography Lab
                     

Scheduled for Spring 2024!

​

 In this series students will gain an understanding of the art of choreography. We'll explore various facets of dance-making through gesture, poetry, rhythms, patterns, props and more!

 

No previous dance experience is necessary but if you have some, you'll be most welcome to pour that into your dance-making when we create our  "dance phrases". 

 

All classes will be guided with lots of room for your student's creativity and expression. This class is best suited for kids ages 6 and older.
