How does it make you feel when you hear the word Dance. Do you start hearing music or start tapping your feet or does your entire being starts to reverberate by this thought itself. It is also possible that you might be one of those who has a cold feet or you believe you have one when you hear the word Dance. You might say how does it matter to you, if I do?
Well at Pappan Dance Company (PDC) we believe that everyone can dance. Yes even 2 left feet can. Don’t take our word for it, come by and experience it for yourself.
PDC was established in 2018 with an aim to create and impart a new direction to Indian Contemporary Dance. Vision to experiment and push the boundaries of what Contemporary means. This is no way limited to professionals but for all those who are willing to step onto the dance floor. Our inspiration and elements are imbibed from the traditional art forms from India. Right from the ancient martial art form Kalaripayattu to Bharatnatyam, Folk Dances, Folk Songs, Physical Theatre and Dance Drama.
PDC opens doors to vistas unexplored, moves that celebrate feelings and steps that lead to the sublime. PDC conducts special theme-based workshops besides curating physical dance theatre productions. PDC is also keenly involved in teaching and imparting lessons on Kalaripayattu merging it with Indian Contemporary, Bharatnatyam and Physical Dance Theatre. Working with students, institutes and organizations, the key motto is to offer the richness of tradition that our country offers.
Remember, the professionals you see today were once amateurs too!
