Workshops and Classes
Charan has 25 years of teaching experience, of a range of forms and influences. He brings something new to each class. The length of a course and workshops can vary and be tailor-made to suit participants' ability and interest. He designs them for any group of people, of any age, experience or ability, ranging from courses for professionals to working with a group of friends who want to have some fun with dancing. (See Organisations where charan has recently taught)
For example, courses are available on the fundamental elements of Nepalese folk, festival and classical dance. They involve learning a diversity of gestures, facial expressions, postures, mudras, footwork, traveling, and visualisation. Elements from traditional and classical dance can be incorporated into modern compositions and courses often culminate in a performance by the group.
Charan offers classes and workshops on:
- Nepalese Folk Dance
- Nepalese Festival Dance
- Buddhist Ritual Dance
- Disability Dance (Also known as 'dance and disability', 'Interactive creative dance movement', 'integrated dance' or 'dance differently')
- Community Dance (Dance for all)
- Bollywood Dance
I facilitate classes and workshops in a range of places such as schools, community centers, hospitals, colleges, universities, clubs, nurseries, parties and festivals.

"Charan Pradhan is both a wonderfully engaging dance workshop leader
as well as an incredibly talented, inspirational performer of South
Asian dance. I recommend him in the highest possible terms and look
forward to working with him again in the future."
