About I-Radha Indian Dances & Theater

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.

                        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 I feel very fortunate to have found I-RADHA. It is amazing to find a Kathak school outside of India that applies the same rigor and passion in teaching. The school follows a curriculum, with a course book for each year. The classes are interactive and we progress at a good pace. Guru Kiran Chauhan is patient and has a wonderful attitude. I really appreciate the time Guruji spends in making sure that we understand the basics at each level. I look forward to class every week. If one really wants to study Kathak, then I-RADHA is the place.

The way she teaches Gives me a lot of mental satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment !! We follow the famous Lucknow Gharana and our classes focus on mastering theoretical as well as practical techniques of Kathak Dance. We also do special performances on stage. My daughter has been learning Kathak for 6 years and I am proud to see her performance all thanks to the hard work and dedication of her teacher.

She is also one of the kindest teachers and very committed to her students' growth. Her teaching style is very personable and innovative. She has passed on not only the pearls of wisdom given to her by her Gurus to her students, she has also helped grow in our hearts an ardent love for the Indian classical dance form Kathak. I highly recommend learning from Guru Kiran Chouhan from I-RADHA.
