I-RADHA - Indian Rhythms Arts & Dances Heritage Academy was founded in June 2016 by Ms. Kiran Chouhan in memory of her mother Mrs. Radha Chouhan. Mrs. Radha Chouhan was a great admirer of Indian music and dance and instilled in her daughter a deep love for all creative arts. She was a talented writer and poet herself. Her poems have been used in many dance dramas in India and the US. I-RADHA, a very thoughtful and strategic initiative in the Chicagoland area by Kathak Dance exponent Ms. Kiran Chouhan, is conceived out of her passion for spreading Indian fine arts amongst the diaspora as well as the mainstream lovers of arts and culture. The purpose of I-RADHA is to teach, advance and spread the learnings of the rich Indian heritage that all of us have come to appreciate and emulate in everyday lifestyles all over the world. I-RADHA has a vision to bring back the golden ‘Gurukul’ era with the blessings of all the senior gurus in the field, who are willing to come and teach our students in the Gurukul tradition. I-RADHA plans to incorporate other Indian art and spiritual streams under its umbrella in the near future. At the core of IRADHA values is the desire to achieve maximum participation by the community. Through global collaboration, I-RADHA will strive to keep all events affordable, accessible and value enhancing as well as entertaining. We are affiliated with Prayag Sangit Samiti in Allahabad India and offers a very structured training program for Kathak. I-RADHA also offers Bollywood classes, and theater. Classes in Schaumburg, Libertyville, Lincoln Park and Naperville.
Rated 5.0 Guruji is the best. Very fortunate to learn from Guru Kiranji.
Rated 5.0 Absolutely phenomenal kathak teacher and school. I am inspired to dance by them and my learning journey continues for more than 5+ years with this school.
Rated 5.0 I-Radha is one of the best kathak dance schools in Chicago area. It celebrates the rich indian heritage of classical dancing in the most sincere way. It’s really a great opportunity to learn from the senior student of kathak maestro late. Pandit Birju Maharaj. You will experience the most authentic kathak learning which you will not find anywhere else. You and your child will get to make your basics correct like posture, speed, laya, taal etc at your own pace unlike the other dance schools and you will never feel rushed. They have some great programs for theater, hindi classes, art and Bollywood that will be a great way to introduce your child to Indian language and arts. I-Radha is truly a blessing to us.
Rated 5.0 Learning kathak since last one year, Kiran didi is amazing teacher. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to join.
Rated 5.0 I am a 3rd year I- Radha’s kathak student. It has been an enriching journey of learning this beautiful art form from Kiran Guruji. She spends lot of time in explaining steps, doing them with finesse, and appropriate expressions. As an adult kathak student with no previous experience, I am proud how far I- Radha has helped me come.
