We are founded on the belief that Traditional and Folk Arts (Dance) should be accessible to everyone
“Pragati School of Dance” is a modern, uplifting, and empowering place. Pragati (प्रगति) means progress, growth, or evolution, which beautifully aligns with the idea of continuous learning and artistic development in dance.
We offer weekly classes as well as one-off workshops for various groups (dancers and non-dancers welcome).
We offer Bharatanatyam classes for beginners and inclusive Bharatanatyam based workshops for ages 5 to adults. We have had students in their 80s learn at Pragati
We offer Bharatanatyam classes for intermediate students who already have some training in dance. We also offer tailored inclusive Bharatanatyam based workshops for intermediate students
We offer a space for exploration and new work choreography for intermediate-to-advanced students and practitioners
Talam or beats is one of the foundations of dance and we will focus on learning various rhythmic patterns and speeds
Adavus or Basic Footwork are a combination of leg and foot positions, standing postures, body movements, and hand gestures
Abhinaya or Expressions that we will learn are the vocabulary of gestures, facial expressions and body language to convey meaning, a story or an emotion
All these elements come together beautifully to create wonderful dance pieces and compositions that we will learn and explore.
