OUR TEACHING PROCESS
Kadamb essentially was an institute that got started off by Kumiben by teaching three students in her husband’s office. It took more than 50 years for that class of three students to grow into a world-renowned institute of 150 students. Kadamb as an institute focuses on teaching young kids and create them to become kathak soloists. The training is methodical and holistic.
In order to get admission in kadamb; registration opens after the month of October. The applicant shall receive a text message in the month of June wherein the interview date would be mentioned and based on the interview the student would be given the admission. The season begins from July 1st and ends April 30th. The students would be given a two-week break in the festival of Diwali and a two-month break in summers, that is May and June.
New students are taken only from the age of 8+ years; earlier than that children do not have the coordination of the limbs required for dance. The children should be healthy and responsive.
