Chhandika believes in the unifying nature of kathak dance and its potential for bringing diverse communities together. We offer several types of outreach programs for children and adults in schools, community centers and arts organizations and institutions. These programs include:

  WORKSHOP SERIES
LECTURES & DEMONSTRATIONS
  PRESENTATIONS
  PERFORMANCES

The overall goal of our outreach programs for children is to provide participants with a new, challenging and enjoyable experience which enables them to be creative, physically active and exposed to a different culture in a comfortable and supportive environment. Programs for adults seek to engage the audience and draw them into the history, culture and traditional background of the dance. Ultimately, we hope to spark an interest in kathak dance and a desire among participants to support it and pursue it further.

We will tailor our programs to meet specific needs and preferences. Please contact us at info@chhandika.org for more information.
