I got back to learning Kathak after 20 years and there was no better place than Space academy to reconnect to my dancing roots. At Space academy you don’t just learn dance steps but you learn Kathak - the art form including the smallest nuances of movement and bold. You learn the history, of the spiritual connection to the dance... Anjana didi takes personal interest in the learning process of each student which is why one never feels one is learning on an online platform. I feel I got lucky with discovering the academy which in turn enabled me to rediscover Kathak. Anyone looking for learning Kathak in its true holistic form must join Space Academy!
I have been training at SpACE for the past 6 months and it has been such a beautiful learning experience. I was not sure what to expect with online Kathak training but Anjana Didi and team at SpACE make online teaching look effortless with their structured practical and theory modules, offline assignments, regular check-ins and personalised feedback. What I enjoy the most is the way Didi inculcates a sense of deep connection towards our dance and training with her interesting anecdotes to explain different hastaks and bandishs, emphasis on riyaaz or practice and a positive and disciplined ambience. After several years of training in Bharatanatyam, it’s my first time learning Kathak this year and this experience at SpACE has made me want to hold on to Kathak for as long as I can. I would encourage anyone interested in a holistic learning experience to definitely reach out and register at SpACE.
I have been a student of Space for nearly 2 years now. Its been one of the best learning experiences one could ask for. You not only grow as a dancer but under the guidance of Guru Anjana tai and Shruthi, you learn and grow as an individual as well. Their knowledge, dedication, commitment and love for their students is felt in every class. Whether youre looking for a hobby or to pursue Kathak seriously, there is no other place I would go to, but Space. Through out the pandemic, they motivated us and kept us going together as a class. I am forever grateful for being under their tutelage.
SpACE is an unparalleled institute for Kathak training. The gurus are not only phenomenal performers, but thoughtful and attentive teachers. Every student at SpACE recieves a thoroughly well-rounded approach to the art form. The instruction integrates the theory, emotion, and significance of each move very seamlessly, thus giving all students a strong foundation. The learning curve here is also extraordinary because the teaching creates great room for creativity while maintaining the purity of Kathak. Best Kathak classes in India.
The best place to learn Kathak because of the passionate and kind teachers . They go beyond teaching dance just from a movement perspective . They give a holistic understanding and help us reflect and explore our deeper selves. Dancing has never been more engaging and fun.
I am a student of SpACE for a while now. I am amazed and surprised to discover different pedagogical methods used by the teachers at SpACE to ensure that a holistic understanding of Kathak is imparted to each and every student. From self-exploration sessions, group-learning, learning/discussions with senior batch’s students, intensive classes, presentations by senior students, information about live dance shows in the city adds to the experience of learning, understanding including appreciation of Kathak. Aesthetically set, its dance studio has the vibrations of an old, ancient-temple of south-India. What could be the reasons of these vibrations? The tapsya of the teachers here or the collective spirit of the student and the teachers to learn and understand an art-form/way of life via Kathak? Would highly recommend SpACE to any performing arts lover and Kathak-enthusiast.
Good place
