AAMAD

Nestled in a quiet corner in the quaint Versova area, AAMAD Performing Arts is a full-time arts studio offering a variety of dance, martial-arts, yoga and zumba classes under some of the best and most experienced teachers. While Aamad can be your everyday culture or fitness fix, we assure you boredom won’t set in; as it is our constant endeavour to bring you a host of unique and exciting workshops such as Flamenco, Lindy-Hop, Hula-hooping, Meditation, Nutrition and more. From time to time we also convert our studio into an intimate performance venue to promote art forms and independent artists through events such as Storytellers, theatre performances, dance recitals and gigs. If you are looking to explore the arts, discover more about yourself, or
perhaps just learn something new- join us at AAMAD. We are always eager to see new faces.

Aamad, from the Persian word meaning 'entry'; the first introduction of spoken rhythmic pattern or bol into a KATHAK performance; the dramatic entrance of the dancer on stage. The Aamad corresponds somewhat to the ‘alaap’ in Indian Music, in that it establishes the atmosphere.
