ABOUT KATHAK

Kathak is one of the eight classical dance forms in India. Its genesis can be traced to ancient North India, which includes Pakistan, where the nomadic bards practised Kathak in village squares and temple courtyards to narrate and portray either historical or mythological tales. For many centuries, this art form remained regenerative, being passed linearly from one generation to another.

The dance’s evolution dates back to the third and fourth centuries B.C. With the passage of time, Kathak metamorphosed into a fully mature dance form by the 13th Century A.D. As it transcended into the fifteenth century, the religious-devotional era of Bhaktiras which enchanted the entire northern and central plains captivated Kathak’s narratives and stylistic rendition too.

The epitome of any classical dance art is establishing a disciplined routine which is paved through the Guru-Shishya Parampara where the art is preached by the Guru and is practised by the Shishya. This Parampara or practice has been followed in India since ancient times and is the crux of our rich Indian heritage.
