The course’s structure ensures that students build a solid foundation in Kathak, equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to advance further in their learning journey. Spardha’s proprietary curriculum, crafted by renowned Kathak dancer, choreographer, and teacher Amruta Paranjpe, provides a clear path for students to follow, allowing them to grasp the essentials of Kathak while also exploring its deeper cultural significance.

Connecting Students to Culture and Heritage
Learning Kathak at Spardha is so much more than learning to dance. It’s also about connecting with Indian culture and heritage. Kathak is a classical dance form that originated in the temples of North India, and its rich history is woven into every step and gesture. Through Kathak, students learn to express stories from Indian mythology and folklore, using dance as a medium to convey emotions and narratives.
For students living outside of India, this cultural connection can be especially meaningful. Spardha’s Kathak course provides a unique opportunity for the Indian diaspora to reconnect with their roots, offering a way to engage with Indian traditions from anywhere in the world. By learning Kathak, students gain a deeper appreciation of their cultural heritage and develop a sense of pride in carrying forward these timeless art forms.
