Kathak Classes Go Online!!

Happy to declare Ghungroo School of Dance has successfully completed over 10 weeks of online training, with all classes – for both children and adults, from beginners to advanced, being conducted on the digital platform. For students residing interstate or in Western suburbs of Melbourne or outside of Australia, there is often lack of options, particularly when you are interested in learning classical style of Kathak. Keeping this in mind, we would like to continue to grow our digital platform, depending upon your interest and feasibility, several options will be available, including a combination of digital plus face-to-face learning.

Interested students please contact via http://ghungroo.com.au/index.php/contact/
