About The Event
Always Felt Drawn to Classical Dance - but Never Knew Where to Begin?
Sangeet Vidya Niketan (SVN) invites you to an intimate introductory session in Kathak, guided by Shri Karan Gangani.
This is not a trial class.
It is your first step into a living tradition - with no pressure to perform, no audition, and no recording.
In your very first session, you will not just observe. You will begin moving correctly, experience the structure of classical training, and understand how a student grows from an absolute beginner to a refined performer.
Who This Is For:
- Those who have always felt a deep pull towards classical dance
- Those returning to dance after years, seeking depth and direction
- Those who want clarity before committing seriously
What You Will Experience:
- A live, guided introduction to Kathak posture, basic mudras, and body awareness
- A clear understanding of how classical dance training actually progresses
- The guru-shishya parampara at SVN, not as theory, but as lived tradition
- A space with no performance pressure, only attentive exploration
- You will leave with clarity, not confusion, knowing exactly whether this path is right for you
Why This Session Matters:
Most people hesitate to begin because classical dance feels distant, complex, or intimidating.
This session removes that distance by replacing hesitation with:
- Direct experience
- Structured understanding
- Personal guidance from the Guru
Important Note:
Attendance in this session is mandatory for admission into the regular Kathak program at SVN.
This ensures that every student who joins:
- Understands the commitment
- Resonates with the approach
- Enters with sincerity
Who Can Attend:
- Absolute beginners
- Working professionals, students, and homemakers
- Individuals returning to dance after a long gap
- No prior experience required. No age limit.
