They are servicing at Boston Metro area. Some of the following services they are expertise are Bharatanatyam Theory, Indian Arts, Kalamandalam Style and Traditional Bharatanatayam Classes. The classes are conducted at their place and are available on all days except Sunday from 15:00 to 19:00. They have over 10 years of experience. Ghungru Dance School is dedicated in teaching and propagating the Indian classical Dances particularly Bharatanatyam. They try to inculcate the love of dancing into every student so that all children can realize their full potential. The early stages of training involve learning the basic steps and movements of the dance. These are the building blocks for subsequent, more advanced, sequences for dancing. The exercises condition the body for the unique postures of Bharatanatyam. They also develop the student’s sense of movement. Having a fit and flexible physique allows a student to learn quickly. For those who are not fit and posses less flexibility they will have to be developed over time. Students also learn eye movements, which are done in integration with the body movements in the dance. At this stage students also learn the names of hand gestures, which is an important feature of Bharatanatyam. They compromise the descriptive language of the dance. They also teach the students about the history of Bharatanatyam and other topics related to it.Read more
Ratings & Reviews for Classical Indian Dance Classes
The show was amazing! Hats off to Archana Tai for working so hard to put this show together and to make it the best it can be. I had a guest from India who thoroughly enjoyed the performances and following are her own words: I would not have imagined to witness 3 and 1/2 hours of a pure classical show in the USA, which I have not even seen in India. The show was fabulous.
Neha is an expert bharatnatyam dancer. Her commitment and dedication to dance is unparalleled. In addition to classical dance, her choreography for bollywood style dance is always unique, complex, thoughtful, decent and age-appropriate.
Guru Mona is very caring and welcoming teacher and treats her students like family. I have been learning Kathak for over 10 years from Guru Mona. She is very creative and talented and all the productions and performances of Mona's Dance Academy reflect the beauty of the classical form of Kathak. I enjoy all the dance classes and look forward to them every week with enthusiasm. Guru Mona has an attention to detail and breaks down the performance to multiple steps as she focuses the student to master each movement in the most beautiful way. She is very patient and supportive and encourages all students to appreciate, love and respect dance. The students learn multiple aspects of Kathak such as graceful hand and foot movements, intricate expressions and theory/background of the dance. The variety of performances we learn at Mona's Dance Academy makes learning and dancing very interesting - from Taranas, Aamads, Bols, Tukdas, Thodas to semiclassical and bollywood fusion. The dances are personalized to the student's capability and interest and enables them to continuously learn and improve in their dance journey. Guru Mona offers both virtual and in-person dance classes, which makes dancing more accessible for out of state students like me. Guru Mona gives opportunities to her students to perform in several global platforms. I whole heartedly recommend Mona's Dance Academy for students to learn and enjoy Kathak dance. Thank you Guru Mona for your wonderful teaching.
