• Kathak : About Kathak Course
  Kathak is among the seven major classical dances of India and one of the most dynamic theater arts in the world.
  Kathak is derived from the katha, meaning ' the art of story telling'. It is also synonymous the community of artists known as kathakar whose hereditary profession it was to narrate history while entertaining with dance , music and mime. These storytellers of ancient India would bring to life the great scriptures and epic.
  From its early form as a devotional expression dedicated to the Hindu, gods. Kathak gradually moved out of temples and into the courts of the rulers- Hindu maharajas and Muslim nawabs when patronage shifted from temples to the royal court, the emphasis shifted from the telling of religious stories to one of the entertainment . Today the story teller aspect has been downgraded and the dance is primarily an abstract exploration of rhythm and movement. There are three predominant styles Lucknow, Jaipur and Banaras.
