A marriage of traditionally and innovation
A storytelling dance form, developed over centuries by multiple masters, Kathak embodies knowledge, wisdom and techniques handed-down multiple lifetimes. However, the traditional framework isn’t an orthodox one, and doesn’t just give an ample space for personal interpretation and execution but rather encourages it. While the anchor of the stereotype provides the basic anchor, the practitioner is encouraged to explore and find their own style and expression of the classical dance form. Our chief mentor has created a curriculum that includes innovation and personal artistic deciphering of the shastra and technicalities.
