The Academy
Initial groups of 20 children each form the nucleus with the age group between 4
and 9 years. Teaching technique is through rhymes, action songs and drawing. At
the age of 10, with the basic knowledge of rhythm and steps, the boys move on to
specialize on children's drama while the girls pass on to more serious yet novel
work in footsteps and movemnets. Without being conscious of the crucial technicalities and the rising difficulty level, they gradually keep progressing to higher levels. Till the age of 14 years they go
through successive phase of learning and at this stage there is the parting of
ways. Some end with the Certificate of Companionship, while others, who qualify
themselves are drafted on to the Diploma course after appearing in Madhyamik or
equivalent examination.
A unique CLT technique is adopted to gear up the dance training systematically,
which is quite different from stereotyped schools of dancing. As such, it is to
the interest of the children that while under training in CLT they do not join
any other school of dancing or participate in outside dance programme except in
their respective educational insitutions. Further for the same reason, CLT trainees cannot
take part in any commercial film or stage programme other than that of CLT.
