Kathak Bharatanatyam Dance Society
SKBD is a dance society that celebrates Indian classical dance through a fusion of Kathak and Bharatanatyam. We offer lessons, workshops, and collaborative opportunities where members can perform and learn new choreographies. Whether you are a beginner or a trained dancer, SKBD can present you with the opportunity to perform at huge stages!
About Kathak Bharatanatyam Dance Society
Kathak and Bharatanatyam are Indian classical dance forms from India. These styles of dance can tell stories through intricate hand movements, the rhythm and precision of footwork and the expressions on the dancer's face. Bharatanatyam originates from South India and is deeply ingrained in Indian culture and history. Bharatanatyam has been the B in SKBD for a long time, but every year we try to bring something new by choreographing and performing fusions with other Indian styles of dance, as well as our pure traditional pieces. In 2022, we added some Bollywood and Kathak moves into our fusion pieces, so we decided to introduce Kathak to SKBD! Members of our committee work hard to produce choreography that is both suitable for beginners and still representative of the graceful style of Bharathnatyam and Kathak, in order to teach it to all of you! At SKBD, we have a variety of exciting opportunities to perform throughout the year, to showcase our traditional and fusion choreography! Regular classes: Mondays: 6-8pmThursdays: 7:30 - 9:30pmCheck out our socials!
