Private Kathak performance

Witness the dance tradition of royal courtesans

Experience one of India’s eight dance forms: Kathak, a storytelling art form that traces its origins to the tribes of nomadic bards in northern India. With the rise of the Mughal Empire, the dance later inculcated Persian features, and was performed by courtesans in royal courts. Watch a Kathak performance in an private residence or auditorium – with an interpretation by the artist!
