Dance Classes
Dance Classes for Children
In my children’s classes, the children learn about Indian culture through dance in a playful way. I started learning Indian dance myself when I was six years old. For me, it was a door into a mysterious, enchanting world: the colourful flowers in the hair, the glittering jewellery, the bright fabrics of the dresses, the gestures of the hands, the characteristic music with its own rhythm…
First, I teach the children learn simple dance steps and dance figures, to move to the rhythm, to tell little stories with simple hand gestures. Slowly we put the individual elements together and form a little dance. Later they may wear Indian dance bells for the first time, put on make-up like an Indian dancer. I offer courses for the age groups 5-7 years, 8-10 years and 11-13 years.
Feel free to contact me if you need more information or would like to arrange a free trial lesson for your child!
Courses for Teenagers and Adults
Of course, you can also start Bharatanatyam classes as a teenager or adult. In my beginners‘ courses I give a first insight into this diversity and teach the basic dance steps (adavus), gestures (mudras) and poses (karanas), which are then combined into a dance to Indian music. In the intermediate and advanced courses, we develop our skills further and weave them into increasingly complex choreographies.
Times and Prices
My classes for children, teenagers and adults take place on different afternoons and evenings during the week. Please contact me if you are interested in a dance class, so we can discuss which class is right for you or your child.
I will be happy inform you of the current prices and discounts on request!
Performances
During dance classes we rehearse different dances and present them on the occasion of smaller and larger performances. Every 4 to 5 years I try to organise larger Bharatanatyam performances with my students. The next big performance is planned for January 2024.
