What makes our online lessons different
You hear the tabla and the ghungroo clearly
We teach with a proper microphone and lighting, and a musician is in the room for rhythm work. Students learn to dance to live accompaniment even at home, which is rare in online classes.
- Personal attention: the whole lesson is about one student
- Teachers from a school that has taught in Kolkata since 2000
- Recordings of practice material after each lesson confirm
- Online showcases where students perform for family
