SIACS Workshops

---

Dance workshops benefit communities by fostering social connection, promoting cultural understanding, and providing inclusive spaces for expression and collaboration. They encourage empathy and break down stereotypes by exposing participants to diverse traditions and philosophies, cultivating a more compassionate and globally aware society. The shared physical experience builds community, enhances well-being, and can even drive social change by advocating for inclusivity within the wider society.

Thank you Vishnupriya and Ramanasudha for the workshop at  Durley Hall. Recieved great feedback from the particpants 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

Next Outdoor workshop coming soon..

“Through Kathak, we don’t just learn dance—we learn patience, passion, and perseverance.”

Ramanasudhaa says "The Kathak workshop held on 17th September brought together participants from various age groups, each radiating energy and curiosity. Over the course of an engaging one-hour session, we explored the fundamentals of Kathak and a short choreography that everyone embraced with joy.

As the instructor, I felt deeply fulfilled guiding them through the graceful rhythms and expressive movements of this classical art form. Their warm feedback and visible enjoyment reaffirmed the power of dance to connect, inspire, and uplift. It was a truly memorable experience that celebrated tradition, creativity, and community."

 "I had a wonderful experience attending the classical dance workshop. The instructor's deep knowledge and passion for the art form were truly inspiring. The session was not only informative but also engaging, with a perfect balance of theory and practice. It deepened my appreciation for the discipline, grace, and storytelling that classical dance embodies. Looking forward to more such enriching opportunities!"
