Workshops
Introduction
The Junoon Methodology is put to use in our workshops and demonstrative talks for Classical Dance where Dancers across demographics, abilities and tendencies discuss, learn about and engage with the Classical Arts.
At JUNOON, we offer bespoke plans to suit the needs of all.
With our wide range of Dance, Arts and Fitness options we can work within available timelines to curate workshops exclusively for your establishment.
For instance,
1. For schools, museums and learning centres, we design Cross Curricular Arts Programs where Classical Movement complements Academia and subject areas across the board. This enables the mental, physical and creative development of students/participants.
2. For Arts spaces and studios, we design Holistic and Artistic Development Programs premised on Classical Dance.
Our Programs typically combine conditioning, technique and preparatory drills to enable Classical Movement, Dance Theory, Storytelling through Dance, Elements of Literature, Music, Drama and Fine Arts and Personal Experimentation, Innovation and Reflection with the training, lessons, experiences and material delivered.
They are best suited to establishments that are seeking to create a safe and nurturing space for the Arts and for individuals who are actively seeking an immersive and holistic artistic experience.
We are keen to work across age groups and genders, catering to the needs of any and all.
We would be delighted to speak with you to customize a program that best suits your needs and goals.

THE JUNOON 'FOOTSTEPS TO FREEDOM' PROGRAM - MUMBAI, INDIA
This program, designed by Shikha Jhaveri, conducted for the children of the Raksha Foundation, empowers underprivileged children by providing them with opportunities to express themselves, build confidence, health and scope and break free from societal limitations, through Classical Dance.
Introduction:
Dance as a medium allows children to express themselves, channel their emotions, and develop a sense of identity and confidence.
The Classical Dance forms of Bharatanatyam and Classical Ballet, with their rich cultural heritage and disciplined practice, teach children about their cultural roots while also providing a modern outlook through our unique and all-encompassing approach to training.
Objectives:
1. Breaking Societal Barriers:
By offering professional dance training to underprivileged children, the program breaks the cycle of poverty and opens up new avenues for career opportunities.
Dance performances and showcases provide a platform for these children to be seen and heard, challenging societal stereotypes and prejudices.
2. Holistic Development:
Dance promotes physical fitness, mental well-being, and emotional balance, contributing to the overall development of the children.
The program incorporates life skills training, including teamwork, perseverance, and creativity, which are essential for personal and professional growth.
The program also incorporates literature, storytelling and theoretical learning. Classical Dance is codified in texts and theories passed down over generations. Absorbing this theory inculcates a deep seated respect for our history and heritage and encourages its preservation for and by future generations.
3. Community and Support:
Our collaboration with Raksha ensures that the children receive not only dance training but also social support, counseling, and educational assistance.
Building a supportive community around these children helps in nurturing their talents and fostering a sense of belonging and purpose.
4. Freedom and Expression:
The program symbolizes the freedom to dream and achieve, regardless of one’s background or circumstances.
It provides a safe space for children to explore their talents and passions, encouraging them to pursue their dreams with confidence and determination.
Our program is significant in providing underprivileged children with the tools and opportunities to transform their lives and achieve freedom through the Art of Dance.
