About Your Instructor: Tithi is a desi dance instructor previously based in Chicago, but soon moving to New York City. Her love for dance started at 5 years old when she started learning Bharata Natyam, and this love for dance expanded to other styles after her Arangetram. At Georgia Tech, she joined the collegiate Bhangra team, which she then captained for 3 years. During this time, she led her team to 15 national competitions, securing 6 wins, and she trained over 60 dancers. She now continues her passion for Bhangra through workshops, where she experiments with flow, creativity, and nakhra (stage presence). She's also currently learning Kathak, and is proficient in Garba, Bollywood, and desi fusion styles. Tithi started teaching workshops in Oct 2022 and has taught 30+ classes to date in various cities. Her goal with workshops is to create a safe space for her students to dance and grow outside of their comfort zone.
About the Class: This workshop is part of Tithi's Summer 2024 Tour, which includes 9 cities across the US and Canada. This workshop will center on an intermediate-level choreography, but Tithi will also explain the fundamentals of Bhangra and provide beginner-friendly modifications throughout class, so it's open to all levels! Class will be structured as follows: 15 min warmup + dynamic stretching, 1 hr & 15 min choreography instruction, 15 min peer showcase & videos, and 15 min cool down.
