Mudra started in 1993, growing to 100+ students today. The studio became a non-profit in 2001. Mudra celebrates East Indian cultural diversity using the medium of dance and music. Our students learn the beautiful rhythmic movement of the North Indian classical dance “Kathak” (dancing a story) with folk and modern elements.
This dance form is visually compelling and physically challenging. With fast paced foot movements and multiple “chakkars” (turns) that leave the viewer memorized. Along with learning the “Mudra Choreography,” a style that has been developed over the years, we strive to build the dancer’s stamina and flexibility by teaching them how to isolate muscles and use their bodies as a form of expression. Students of all ages and background are welcome; passion is the only prerequisite.
