In this course, you will learn the basic steps with rythmic footwork and the Mudras (hand gestures) of Kuchipudi, the classical Indian dance tradition from South India. Shri Mataji described Kuchipudi as the dance form that is closest to the Ananda Tandava, the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva.
Building on these classical foundations, we will learn a unique fusion choreography that blends the grace and precision of Kuchipudi with the freedom and creativity of contemporary Indian dance.
A special focus will also be placed on facial expressions, which are an essential aspect of Indian dance. They bring emotion, storytelling, and depth to the movements.
The deeper aim of this course is to connect with your inner energy, feel your Spirit, and express devotion to the Divine through dance.
Come and discover the joy of dancing from the heart
