Our story

About the academy

A studio in Bur Dubai, and a class that can reach a room anywhere.

Founder & Artistic Director

Dance has always been more than movement for me — it is devotion, discipline, and a beautiful connection to our cultural roots.

Nishi Singh

Kathak dancer, teacher, choreographer

Kathak has been part of my life from the first tatkar. Years of learning, performing, and teaching have shown me how this classical form builds grace, confidence, rhythm, and a quiet kind of strength.

I want a room where students learn more than steps. They learn the history, the laya, and the spirit of the dance — guided with the patience my gurus gave me. Every recital carries that blessing forward.

Inside a class

How an hour is shaped.

  1. 00

    Greeting

    Namaskar, then steady tatkar until the body is in taal.

  2. 20

    Padhant

    The new composition is spoken until the bols are clean.

  3. 40

    Chakkar

    Turns, balance, and the speed the level is ready for.

  4. 55

    Abhinaya

    A gat, a line of thumri, or a story held in the eyes.

  5. 70

    Tihai

    The hour closes on sam, the way a recital does.
