Astad Deboo took workshops for the Theatre Academy, Pune in the 1970s and then, when I joined the Lalit Kala Kendra, he also conducted a workshop there. I cannot analyse him as a dancer, but he was a very innovative choreographer, who worked throughout the country and abroad with masters like Pina Bausch and Pink Floyd. He collaborated with world class dance Gurukuls like Martha Graham Centre for Contemporary Dance.
