Kathakali is a "story play" genre of art from Kerala (South-western India) and is derived from 2 words... Katha = Story

Storytelling through Dance
Youth Choreography Lab
Scheduled for Spring 2024!
In this series students will gain an understanding of the art of choreography. We'll explore various facets of dance-making through gesture, poetry, rhythms, patterns, props and more!
No previous dance experience is necessary but if you have some, you'll be most welcome to pour that into your dance-making when we create our "dance phrases".
All classes will be guided with lots of room for your student's creativity and expression. This class is best suited for kids ages 6 and older.
