Kathak is an Indian classical dance form that originated in ancient temples and evolved over time by drawing inspiration from various cultures, including Persian influences. It is known for its storytelling, rhythmic footwork, graceful movements, and expressive artistry.In some ways, Kathak can feel similar to ballet—both focus on posture, balance, and controlled movement. For example, if you’re familiar with ballet, pirouettes are similar to chakkars (spins) in Kathak—often performed with rhythmic footwork and expressive storytelling.Instructor: Taught by Sonali, who brings a strong foundation in classical dance along with a thoughtful, beginner-friendly teaching style.
