Description
Performance Intensives are a semester-long course that offers an in-depth experience of Indian dance. If you have attended our Drop In classes, these courses are a great next step! Students learn three pieces of choreography that incorporate detailed arm and leg movements, hand gestures, and facial expressions. Classes are challenging and fun and culminate in a stage performance at the end of the term.
Classical Blend: These classes incorporate elements of classical Indian dance (specifically Kathak and Bharathanatyam) into semi-classical choreography that is mixed with Bollywood, Indian folk, or contemporary dance. Classes focus on emoting, hand gestures, and complex footwork.
Levels: This class is at the Advanced level. We also offer Intermediate classes for those students who are new to Ajna and/or this dance style. If you have questions about which level to enroll in, please take a look at our videos below and email us at info@ajnadance.com.
