DHRUPAD SINGING & RHYTHMICS SEMINAR

An immersive 3 days workshop into dhrupad singing and rhythmics : an ancient tradition of North India carrying some of the secrets of Nada Yoga (yoga of sound). An heritage of the teachings of the Dagar family.

Dhrupad, century-old style of Indian classical music, originates in Vedic scansion. Its practice is closely linked to the practice of Nada Yoga (Yoga of Sound). The rhythmics traditionally accompanying it find their base in Sanskrit stanzas, which also represent the purest expression of Indian aesthetic grammar.
