We offer rigorous yet joyful training in Kathak and Hindustani classical music for learners aged 6 to 70. Whether you are taking your first step onto the dance floor or returning to a long-held dream, there is a place for you at Fankaar.

As the mother of Nirvi and Nitara Ajmera, I am truly grateful to be a part of Fankaar Institute of Performing Arts. Vartika ma’am is not only an exceptional Kathak teacher but also a wonderful mentor who nurtures every child with patience, discipline, and genuine affection. Her dedication inspires the students to grow both as dancers and as confident individuals. The Kathak class has such a warm, positive, and encouraging environment that every child feels welcomed and motivated to learn. Fankaar is truly a beautiful place to experience the grace and tradition of Kathak.
