Music Theory Masterclass

Tricha was invited back to Nritya Shakti to conduct her Music Theory Masterclass for a new batch of student trainees. During this session, students learned about the basic building blocks of music and how to define and translate common terms used every day in class — like musicality, texture, and rhythm. They then learned to combine different rhythms to create a polyrhythm, and how to break down choreography into a “spoken” language.

Nritya Shakti Studio is founded by Shakti Mohan. The studio currently runs a training course called the Intensive Training Program (ITP), under which students train daily in a variety of dance styles. Each week, the students take masterclasses from guest faculty. This is the second time Tricha has conducted a masterclass for the ITP program.
