Welcome to Session 2022-2023


Welcome Note from Artistic Director.
"Dance is Divine". Dance gives you a positive perspective towards life and helps you lead a healthy (physically and mentally) life-style, full of enthusiasm, positivity and hard work. It gives you a platform to express and exchange ideas while enhancing your personality. With this motto and objective, we continue our journey of Exploring Indian Classical Dance called Kathak or Kathaka. 

Challenges are part of life at every step. Here, we believe challenges are to be accepted and won over. As I welcome you all to the new school session, we are keeping in mind the new norms of life amidst COVID-19 and are fully committed to providing the full Dance Karishma experience prior to COVID while keeping everyone's safety (students and staff) as top priority. 

In-Person Classes vers virtual
We continue to have in-person classes along with virtual classes. Same zoom details can be used.
What's New? 
Point System. Score points for various activities such as: Attendance (1), volunteering, preparedness in class, dress-code, ghungharoo atticates  etc. This is for FUN right now and to feel proud of yourself. (gain 1 point for anything done great. You will anyways get 1 point for each class you attend (and go -ve if you miss uninformed or for coming late). Expecting everyone to collect at least 60+ points in academic session. Please see your points here.

Volunteering System. We learn and refresh our knowledge when we explain to our juniors.   Madhyama & Visharad students need to do volunteer work and get extra points. 
Please add your volunteer details here.

Do we have exams in Nov? 
No details as of now. However, we will continue as if exams are occurring as per usual  and we will continue to prepare ourselves 200% for the same. If at all we get the form by end of July or early Aug, will notify immediately. We will discuss in details as we get more information....

Quaterly Fees Payment
(Please opt for it if you happen to miss the regular deadlines due to your busy lifestyle). Monthly accounting is taking too much time that also when it's spread over multiple days. For best of our interest to have quality time towards learning, we request you to move to Quarterly Fee Payment. This will reduce lot of work and efforts from our side. Thanks for your kind support. (Aug+Sep+Oct)(Nov+Dec+Jan)(Feb+March+April)(May+June+July)


Please review General Rules once here.

I welcome you all to new school session. Let's sail through it with Dancing Feet....

Thanks to all parents and students for your utmost support and we continue to thrive towards the wonderful Session together.

Happy Dancing!!!
​-Jaya Sharma
Artistic Director
