Program details overview
Bachelor of Performing Arts in Dance
Parul University’s Bachelor of Performing Arts (BPA) in Dance (Kathak) exposes students to the rich heritage of Indian classical dance, while helping them to develop the technique, discipline and artistic expression required for professional performance. The program uses the Kathak tradition of storytelling to explore the relationship between rhythm, movement, music and expression, and gives students an appreciation of dance as an art form and as a means of communication.
Students are taught a complete knowledge of footwork, rhythmic patterns, hand gestures, facial expressions and body movements through practice, theory, choreography and stage performances. The program also allows students to gain an understanding of the cultural and historical significance of Kathak, to develop their own style of art, and to gain confidence to perform in front of an audience.

Bachelor of Performing Arts in Dance
This program is for students who want to spend their days in a dance studio and eventually on a stage.

Alongside the practical work, you’ll study the theory and history behind the form. Most of your learning happens through repetition, feedback from teachers, and performing. That means practice sessions, workshops and stage shows where you get used to having an audience in front of you.
