Tapping To The Beats: Semi Classical Dance Workshop

Tapping To The Beats: Semi Classical Dance Workshop

Dance is an art. It is an expression of divinity and grace. Dancing is like dreaming with your feet and uplifting your senses. So to enhance the classical dance culture in the students of The IIS University, the Cultural Guild organized a semi-classical dance workshop at the University Campus. The morning of 19th February witnessed graceful moves of students as they grooved to the ethereal classical tunes and beats.

Ms Gauri Swakul, a very well-known and internationally acclaimed Kathak dancer graced the event with her divine choreography. The fun-filled teaching-learning experience began at 10 AM and continued until 12 noon. This was followed by the continuation of the practice sessions from 2-4PM. The two day workshop received an extremely positive response from around 10 students who have attended it.

The event was set in motion with warm-up exercises for 10 minutes. After that, the students were taught dance steps on the Kathak version of “Nav Ras of Human expressions” by Ms Gauri Swakul. Furthermore, basic mudras and postures of Classical dance were also imparted to make the teaching-learning experience more fruitful. The teaching-learning experience coupled with graceful moves encompassed the fun-filled environment and students enjoyed it to the core.
