Strategy
Our strategy to share the knowledge of Kathak is by first training Kathak Fundamentals and Building Blocks which with consistent practice, commitment, and patience develop accuracy in foot-work, grace in body movements, and flexibility to beautifully transition from one aspect of dance to another aspect of dance with ease.
The teachings are based on Gandhrva MahaVidyalaya and Punjab University, India, syllabuses and regular assessments are carried out to further channelize and enhance the learning process.
TLODA Kathak training program consists of seven ( 7) levels, starting from Beginner I course to going all the way to Advance level and pro levels.
Our Dance Academy provides comprehensive and personalized instructions!
