The idea of storytelling is central to Kathak, one of India's most exquisite dance styles. Kathak, the sole dance from northern India among the eight Indian classical dance styles, is an art form with an enigmatic beauty, captivating footwork, and beautiful motions.

The three styles of Kathak—Classical, Contemporary, and Sufi—have developed over time. With its quick turns, exceptional rhythmic dexterity, and lyrical exploration of love and spiritual poetry, it enchants and captures listeners.

The skillful and quick rotations along with the precise yet flowing motions release a visual brilliance onstage that transports viewers on a spiritual trip.
