Kuchipudi – one of India’s 6 classical dances, serves as a gateway to the philosophical underpinnings of life – the art form can offer a sense of self, conviction, understanding and discipline.

ICC similarly cultivates a holistic sense of self by merging culture with community, fitness, education, and performance.

Therefore, ICC offers the ideal environment for its approach to Kuchipudi.

These classes will offer a deep understanding of classical Kuchipudi and its traditions, while integrating modern teaching practices.

The focus will be on building a strong foundation of technique and storytelling.
