Class Experience

In each session of this course, I emphasize a specific hand gesture and set of basic steps in varying counts. 


This course is beginner-friendly. So, whether your child is new to dance or has had experience with other dance forms, there is something for all learners in this course. 
In each weekly class, we will go through 
- Introduction and welcoming new students
 - Stretching and warming exercise
- "Namaskara" or Indian style greetings
- practice previpus lessons
Learn hand gestures and specific movements. I will break down every gesture and movement; students will copy me to begin with and then practice alongside everyone
 - Cool down; review the lesson, ask questions and sign off. 
 
Note: This outline may change slightly depending on students’ abilities and overall class progress
Class Outline: 
The course will teach the first four sets of the basic steps (adavus) which range from 2 to 8 count movements involving feet movements with or without hand gestures

In each class, we will learn 2 to 3 steps with a set along with hand movements and gestures

Learning Goals

This course will help students develop and hone their sense of rhythm, balance, body co-ordination and strength.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Safety measures: 1) Dress code: Dress comfortably in a top and loose fitting pants. Avoid tight shirts or tight pants as these will restrict movement. 2) Footwear: Please do not wear socks during the session as this might cause slipping. 2) Workout space: We will not be jumping or leaping excessively in this class. All movements will be slow to medium speed. HOWEVER, please ensure that the space is free of clutter or furniture so the student can move safely and freely. Please avoid carpeted areas to avoid friction while moving. 4) Other: I will provide a 2 min break half way into the session so students can rest. Please keep a water bottle and a towel handy. Parental supervision is advised for students who have never taken a movement/dance class before.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! I am Indu. I am a Technology Product Manager by vocation, and a Dancer at heart.  Through my classes at Outschool, I want to share my joy of learning and curiosity that had served me so well in my professional and personal life. I started my career as a Scientist and then jumped headlong into the world of Technology, where I am still learning on a daily basis. Meanwhile, I am pursuing my passion in dance and teaching. This multi-faceted life gives me purpose and motivation. I strongly believe each of us are multifaceted in many ways and pursuing all these different aspects helps us live a fuller life. Through my classes, I aim to help students explore their many gifts and nurture their innate need to learn.
