Classical Indian dance:
Classical Indian dance is taught and students enjoy the varied foot positions and hand gestures associated with our classical dance styles. Periodic presentations and special assemblies to celebrate festivals showcase dance presentations on a particular theme. Students gain valuable knowledge through this process of creative learning and also become deeply sensitive to our rich traditions and heritage. Their young bodies become supple and their minds become more alert and active, through the process of memorizing and learning the choreographed steps. Systematic training enables them to also delve into the choreographic process eventually. Dancing is truly a refreshing way to fuse school schedules with creativity and a commitment to perfection.
