Kathak
​Classes

What is Kathak?

​Native to North India, Kathak, which originates from Katha – the art of story telling, was originally a dance form portraying stories of Ramayana and Mahabarata. Later, professional nomadic troupes called Kathakars or storytellers, spread it across the country, developing it further to include mime. Thus Kathak gradually transitioned from being mainly a devotional art to a more multi-disciplined entertainment, catering to a larger audience.

During the medieval period, Kathak became a part of the court culture of the Persian and Moghul kingdoms, which eventually led to it being elevated to a classical art form. Its rapid footwork, accompanied by graceful hand gestures and gentle facial expressions, make this dance a popular attraction for all art lovers.
