DAMAROO - one of the many pieces performed at ‘Hemantika and Beyond’ last month at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Southbank Centre

Shiva is the lord of dance and his damaroo (the hand
held drum), its unique shape of hourglass is a symbol
of balance: movement with stillness, male and female
energy – tandav and lassya.

Created especially for this occasion by Sujata Banerjee
to celebrate various rhythmic sounds and their
resonance

NEW Adult Beginner Kathak Classes !

Following popular demand, we’re excited to offer adult beginner Kathak classes across Finchley and Harrow!

It’s never too late to start dancing. No previous experience is needed — just bring your enthusiasm.

We’re sharing a clip from our recent performance at the Southbank Centre, where 75 dancers took to the stage — and some of the dancers you see had only started learning Kathak six months earlier!

At SBDC, we believe learning goes beyond the classroom. Alongside structured training, we offer our students performance opportunities to build confidence, grow as dancers and experience the excitement of performing on stage.

Enrolment now open — join us and begin your Kathak journey.

For more information email at [email protected]

Happy Guru Purnima 🙏🏻

A guru not only teaches an art but inspires discipline, values and the confidence to grow beyond our own limitations. Their teachings become a lifelong source of strength.

On this sacred day, we offer our heartfelt pranam to Sujata Banerjee Ji, whose dedication, passion and vision continue to inspire generations of dancers. Thank you for preserving, nurturing and sharing the beautiful tradition of Kathak with such grace and commitment.

💐✨🏵️🌼💞

Moments before her solo performance, Guru Sujataji had a few words backstage on her relationship to make up, as it was getting done by and 💄
