My Approach to Teaching
I believe Indian classical dance is not just about movement, but also about discipline, storytelling, and connecting with rhythm. My teaching combines both traditional training methods and a student-friendly approach, ensuring every learner feels confident and inspired.
==================================================
Techniques & Methodology
Emphasis on strong foundations in adavus (Bharatanatyam) and tatkar (Kathak) with focus on rhythm (tala) and footwork.
Use of storytelling (abhinaya) to help students express emotions and connect with Indian mythology.
Combination of nritta (pure dance) and nritya (expressional pieces) to give students a balanced learning.
I gradually build choreography skills, starting from basics and progressing to full-length compositions and stage readiness.
==================================================
Lesson Structure & Duration
A typical class lasts 60 minutes.
Classes begin with warm-up and rhythm exercises, followed by technique practice, and end with short choreography or abhinaya practice.
For advanced students, I also include performance tips, stage presence, and choreography refinement.
==================================================
Who My Classes Are For
Suitable for children (8+), teens, and adults at beginner to intermediate levels.
For students preparing for stage performances, competitions, or cultural events.
Also for those who wish to learn dance for fitness, expression, or personal enrichment.

My daughter and I are learning Kathak from Deepa and always enjoy our weekly lessons.
Deepa is a thoughtful and intuitive teacher- she’s able to tune in to different age groups and adapt her teaching style
- me being the adult student and my daughter (12).
I also appreciate that we are taught both practical and theory of kathak - thus ensuring our progress week on week , term on term.
I highly recommend Deepa as your dance teacher and my daughter and I are most grateful for our learning journey with her.See more recommendations
