Virtual Kathak Masterclasses with Guru Rani Khanam
About
Important Update - Change to Hybrid FormatMelbourne is honoured to present a special Kathak masterclass series for intermediate and senior Kathak dancers in collaboration with Guru Rani Khanam, renowned Lucknow Gharana Kathak exponent.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Guru Rani Khanam is unfortunately unable to travel to Melbourne. However, Infinity Kathak and Guru Rani Khanam are proud to continue the workshop series and performance opportunity, staying true to the original artistic vision.
This specially curated 6-hour workshop series for intermediate and senior dancers will be delivered in a hybrid model, combining in-studio and live online learning. Participants will learn an original choreographic composition by Guru Rani Khanam, created in her distinctive Lucknow gharana style and Sufi aesthetic.
✨ What makes this experience special:
- The choreography will be taught live online by Rani didi herself, with detailed guidance and artistic insight
- Dr Helena Joshi (senior Kathak dancer, disciple of Guru Prerana Deshpande, and Founder of Infinity Kathak) will facilitate the classes and ensure ensemble cohesion
- Dancers will enjoy an intimate learning experience with Guru Rani Khanam, including performance polishing, direct feedback.
- Supporting video material will provided for learning and continued refinement
