Dance Shows, Socials & Workshops in Kolkata

Dance in Kolkata leans classical and Tagorean. Recitals of Odissi, Kathak, Bharatanatyam and Manipuri, along with Rabindra Nritya set to Tagore's songs and dance dramas, are staged at Rabindra Sadan, G.D. Birla Sabhagar, ICCR on Ho Chi Minh Sarani and the Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre in Salt Lake, often free or for a small ticket. The city also carries the creative-dance legacy of Uday Shankar, who is the subject of one of this year's Durga Puja pandals. The social side is newer: salsa, bachata and swing nights at studios and bars around Park Street, Ballygunge and Sector V, Bollywood and hip-hop workshops on weekends, and garba and dandiya nights organised by the Gujarati and Marwari communities during Navratri. This page lists dance performances, festivals, socials and classes across Kolkata, Salt Lake and New Town.
