  • Know More about this tour

    Meet your driver at the your hotel lobby at 9am. Proceed to Sankhya Dance Studio, founded by Vaibhav Arekar located near Borivali in the comfort of your private car. Be greeted with a cup of chai (tea) and snacks at the studio. Take a tour of the studio where the dancers spend their day practising, choreographing and teaching. You can also look through the stock of costumes, make-up and jewellery used by company dancers for performances.

    Indian dance is a combination of story-telling and rhythmic movements. Stories are generally based upon myths of ancient India with larger-than-life characters and divine interventions. Watch some beautiful dance pieces from the traditional Bharatanatyam repertoire performed by the dancers of Sankhya.

    Next, witness a dance spectacle popular as Lavaniof Maharashtra. Lavani is a combination of traditional song and dance performed to the beats ofDholki, a percussion instrument. This dance form is noted for its powerful rhythm and has contributed substantially to the development of Marathi folk theatre. The songs in 'Lavani' are mostly erotic in sentiment and the dialogues tend to be pungent in socio-political satire.

    Over lunch, interact with the dancers and get an insight into the dance scenario in Mumbai. Understand the finer nuances of Indian classical dance and if interested, even learn a step or two from the professionals!

    Post lunch, proceed to your hotel or preferred destination in Mumbai in your private car.

      Ein wunderbares Erlebnis, dass ich nicht missen möchte. Eine Veranstaltung nur für uns. Die Tänzer haben sich bemüht uns den Ausdruck und die Tänze zu erklären. Zum Schluss haben wir diese auch Verstanden. Beim anschließenden Essen konnten wir noch mehr über die Ausdruck-Arbeit erfahren.
