Dancers who focus on improving their strength, flexibility and movement mechanics are better prepared at minimizing injuries, have better understanding of their bodies and continue dancing pain-free long term.
Too many Kathak dancers fail to prepare their bodies while practicing this arduous Indian Classical dance form. Many dancers complain of knee pain, foot pain, shoulder pain and low back pain to name a few. Most times this is a cumulative effect of continuing to dance/train without resolving underlying strength/flexibility deficits and continuing to perform repetitive movements using faulty biomechanics. While exceptional dance instruction (available through SISK) helps ensure you understand proper form, SISK’s partnership with BreakThrough now ensures that Kathak dancers worldwide can learn the proper foundations of strength, flexibility and body mechanics to ensure lifelong enjoyment from this beautiful art form.
