A [dadra](/en-gb/vocal/hindustani-classical/dadra) is a semi-classical vocal form of Hindustani music, closely allied to thumri and usually sung to the six-beat dadra tala or the eight-beat kaherva. Writers differ on how to file it: the tabla player and historian Aneesh Pradhan counts dadras as a subset of the thumri genre, while other writers treat dadra as a separate form gathered under the thumri name. Set beside thumri, dadra is the tighter form, and its **melodic elaboration** stays close to the refrain. KalaSudha's [online courses](/en-gb/courses) teach tabla, sitar and every other discipline to learners in Bareilly. Topics close only once your instructor has reviewed your work, and levels close with a KalaSudha certificate or diploma. Once enough Bareilly learners sign up, workshops and summer camps follow, and KalaSudha's concerts include the Kala Festival, a touring festival. On request, KalaSudha assesses learners of other teachers against its skill milestones. Press **Register for updates** on this page to hear first about KalaSudha concerts and workshops in Bareilly.
