Classes

Pagrav provides a supportive platform developing passionate, exceptional dancers. We encourage students to think independently from early on in their training in order to foster a healthy culture of creativity.

Our classes offer a rich technical foundation in kathak through extensive footwork, movement and pirouette exercises. Series of intraforms as well as extended abstract and expressional pieces comprise the repertoire taught across all levels.

Our training presents the opportunity to be coached for the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) Kathak Graded and Vocational examinations, and to also undertake a Rangmanch Pravesh (debut recital presented on completion of a formal training period).
