🤗 Hey community! Meet Priyanka, this month’s Neighbourhood Moves facilitator. She might already look familiar... as AK Board Member, and past participant in the hArt Dance Film Series AND Prospects: Here&Now 2025, we are super pumped to bring her teachings to our workshop series!
👣 Priyanka is an emerging Kathak artist, choreographer, vocalist, and dance educator originally from New York, now based in Hamilton, Canada. She began studying Kathak at a young age under Pandita Guru Archana Joglekar and has continued her training for over a decade with her teacher and mentor Parul Shah. Priyanka has also trained in Bharatanatyam under Smt. Guru Satya Pradeep.
When Priyanka moved to Hamilton in 2022, the city lacked a Kathak community. Since then, she has made it her mission to foster a growing community through teaching at her home and McMaster University. Priyanka’s aim is to raise awareness of Kathak and strengthen Hamilton’s diverse arts scene.
💌 Join Priyanka on January 31st for Introduction to Kathak at Magnolia Hall, and participate in embodied learning of the North Indian classical dance form known for its rhythmic footwork, expressive storytelling, and dynamic play between structure and improvisation.
Reserve your spot today at the link in our bio ❤️
