Absolutely Love the tutorials and Guru pali chandra mam for her dedication.

Neha Munshi

I joined Guru Pali Chandra's Beginners Kathak class in November of 2019 and I am thoroughly enjoying the lessons. I have been trained in Kathak before but I wanted to start again with beginners lessons so I can refine my movements and have a solid grip on technique and understanding of rhythm. I cannot wait to move to intermediate classes. Thank you so much Guru Pali Chandra!!!

This is the kind of dance course that i have always wanted to do... This course is very helpful to me as it is in English and the way it is designed makes it easier for me to understand... Thank you so much to Guru Pali Chandra for fulfilling my dream of becoming a Kathak dancer.

Through Explanations, Interpretations, Teaching and Performance, she shows a range of choreographic moves inspired by her reading of Natyasastra and Abhinaya Darpana.
