Learn Kathak Online – Introducing the Traditional Dance Form of India
Kathak is one of India’s eight classical dance forms, originating in the northern regions. This art form is known for its intricate footwork, graceful spins, and expressive gestures. More than just a performance, Kathak is storytelling through rhythm and movement. In ancient India, it began as a temple performance before evolving into a courtly performance tradition. Today, Kathak is performed worldwide and is admired for its elegance and spiritual depth. Join our online Kathak classes and connect with the heritage of Indian culture.
