Laavni is not an easy dance and has some similarities to Kathak. Aarya Nilesh makes it look so easy.

Very old Kathak based choreo in a movie Jhanak Jhanak Payel Baaje, re-choreographed and presented by Priya Manoj Patel. Winning trophies is not the fun part, dancing to hearts content, definitely is. 
Gurukul can help you with that.
