Ananya Dance Theatre’s Shawngram Institute for Performance & Social Justice offers the following classes online:
Tuesdays: Yorchhā Strong, 9:00-9:30am, CDT
Wednesdays: Intro to Yorchhā, 6:30-7:30pm, CDT
Fridays: Intro to Yorchhā, 6:30-7:30pm, CDT
Sundays: Advanced Yorchhā, 3:00-4:00pm, CDT
Yorchhā is Ananya Dance Theatre’s trade-marked contemporary technique that intersects principles of vinyasa yoga, the classical Indian dance form Odishi (from the eastern Indian state of Odisha), and the martial art form Chhau (also from Odisha).
Classes are donation based. We suggest $10-20 per class but please donʻt let financial limitations stop you from participating. Another way to contribute is by sharing information about the classes on your social media or inviting people in your orbit to take class with you!
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
