This is an exciting martial art form from the southern Indian state of Kerala called 'Kalaripayattu'. This martial art is thought to be the mother of all others, incorporating the fighting actions of animals found in India and moving in graceful, circular motions between fantastic kicks and flying jumps. Students will become stronger, more flexible and have fun learning a new way of moving. No previous martial arts or dance experience is needed.

Be on the lookout for a tour of Central Asian dance in the Spring:

Afghan Traditional Dance with Samia Karimi beginning February 26, 2018

Tajik Traditional Dance with Natalie Nayun beginning April 16, 2018

Both the Afghan and Tajik dances will be performed at the Berkeley Himalayan Fair in Berkeley on May 20-21, 2018
