About the event

Yamini Kalluri developed this class after experiencing the benefits of Ballet in enhancing her Kuchipudi practice. She has created a unique approach to Kuchipudi that integrates Ballet techniques, focusing on feet articulation, alignments, leg extensions, and turn mechanics, all of which parallel concepts in Indian classical dance.

This class, curated by Kritya Foundation, aims to empower Indian classical dancers with strength, flexibility, anatomical education, and injury prevention. Erin Landers, who learned Kuchipudi fundamentals while dancing with Kritya Dance Company, will guide this session. Erin’s deep understanding of Kuchipudi aesthetics has shaped a class specifically designed for Indian classical dancers.

We know that many Indian classical dancers feel hesitant to step into Ballet classes due to cultural barriers. Kritya envisions this as a safe and welcoming space for dancers of all backgrounds to explore Ballet fundamentals that enhance their practice.
