DRIP

A Groove Language by Ragini. Drip is symbolic of dropping with. “Drip is a slang term that refers to a person’s sense of style as trendy, sexy or cool. It is a variation of ‘swag’ and was made popular by hip-hop culture.”

Drip, is a constantly evolving, unique process created by Ragini over a decade. It is a trendy dance style with a theatrical aspect that touches the conversational side of a dancer’s body language. A creative space opens up for each person to find various colours of their personality and express them more boldly.

The method finds its foundation in your inner groove and individuality with an influence of Jazz dance techniques. The module of the program is a one-of-a-kind lab where you work on and experiment with your personality to gradually unmask the you in you with confidence. You also discover a centred body language, polished with a hint of stylistic and trendy vocabulary to aid smooth expression.

Every session is a capsule of a technique or concept that you practice in complete connection to yourself. It helps you find your rhythm and move and groove wherever there is music. You learn to be at ease with yourself as the focus shifts from remembering steps to moving with intention. Learning and retaining choreography then starts coming naturally because Drip enables you to practice your base enough to easily learn anything additional.

These dance classes inculcate a practice of performance with a rawness and an edginess of attitude, making each one a star. You will become confident in the way you carry yourself and own space with or without music. With such holistic training and development, exploring different commercial classes overseas will become easier to embrace.

The process is crafted in such a way that you can develop personal style in the now in line with visualisation of where you’d be in the future.

RAGA

Raga is a movement language developed by Ragini Bhajanka, which is exploratory and process-based. She believes pure freedom and rhythm comes from being in the moment, and that is what nurtures the spontaneous module of this movement program. 

Being a contemporary language, Raga will guide you towards unexplored places through improvisation. Ragini uses the rhythm of music and silence to help you through the cosmic connection of the mind and body. These sessions will draw on almost all the mindset, coaching and visualisation tools she has acquired to date. With consistent training this will bring out a side of you which is constantly exploring, connecting, and creating. The voice inside you will be the primary guiding force while various techniques will be practised to transcend boundaries into ultimate freedom.

In these classes you discover the creation process rather than choreography learning – you find yourself as a free moving being, rather than exploring dance as a construct. As Ragini describes it, it’s ‘Creation…creation of you’.

Usually a class like this is available only to professional dancers. Ragini is now making that accessible to everyone. Her process is unique in its approach, and is motivated by guidance through inspiration rather than instruction.
