Summer Series: ShaadiHits Semi-Classical Intensive with Sneha - 6/28 and 6/29 - Houston
Hello Houston!
Join us for a 2-day Kathak intensive designed to deepen your connection to this classical Indian dance form through expression, storytelling, and performance.
This weekend is perfect for dancers looking to immerse themselves in the expressive and technical elements of Kathak, with a special focus on building toward performance readiness.💫
What to Expect:
Day 1 – Foundations & Flow
We’ll start by grounding ourselves in the fundamentals of Kathak, focusing on technique, footwork (tatkar), and basic movement vocabulary.
From there, we’ll move into expression exercises (abhinaya) and the art of storytelling, learning how to communicate emotion through movement. We’ll also begin our weekend choreography, setting the stage for what’s to come on Day 2.
Day 2 – Creativity & Performance Prep
We’ll continue building on the choreography from Day 1 and dive deeper into expression, improvisation, and creative interpretation. The goal is to help dancers develop confidence and artistry, whether you're preparing for the stage or just exploring new depths in your practice.
🎬 Mini Recital – Sunday, June 29 | 1:00–1:30 PM
We’ll end the weekend with a mini-recital to showcase what we’ve learned! Friends and family are warmly encouraged to attend and cheer you on as we share the joy and beauty of Kathak.
Mini-Recital:
• Recap of workshop elements
• Storytelling segment
• Group performance of choreographed piece
• Solo Showcase Performances
🌟 Solo Showcase Opportunity:
Available exclusively to the 2-day participants!
I’ll be selecting 5 dancers via draw to present a 1-2 minute solo during the Mini-Recital. The song should be classical or semi-classical in feel - lyrical or instrumental, but doesn't have to be Kathak-based.
If you'd like to be considered for the solo spotlight, submit your name after registering!
Submissions will close on Sunday, June 22nd. The draw for the selected performers will take place on Monday, June 23rd. Selected performers will be contacted with next steps.
