Kathak is the traditional dance form of Uttar Pradesh. It derived it's name from kathika means story tellers who recited verses from epics with gestures and music. It consists of 4 gharanas Lucknow, Jaipur, Raigarh and Banaras. Proud of such rich tradition and heritage.

I was born n grew up outside India too n while my dad was one of those who just never wanted to spend money on his wife or kids, i didnt get to go for classes. But once a year we had a festival where all Indians of our community would have the kids do dances all night long. We were all different Indians n religions and our dances were divided by age groups. The aunty who always taught us dances gave us different dances each year. I got to learn bharatanatayam, belly dancing, and several others. It was amazing. Ill definitely send my kids to dance classes

@cuteladybug8622
@cuteladybug8622 5 лет назад
To answer your statement kathak and bharatanatyam have similar roots. Kathak started out as a storytelling dance and was used to tell the great Hindu epics such as the Ramayana; but was also used to tell stories of Hindu deities such as radha and Krishna. With the arrival of the mughal empire, kathak gradually changed from a dance of storytelling to a dance of complex footwork, spins and graceful hand and arm movements. Kathak originated in northern India whereas bharatanatyam came from the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Bharatanatyam is still a dance of storytelling. Bharatnatyam performances tend to be long with the male or female dancer playing all the characters. So male bharatanatyam dancers will make gestures that represent the female characters in the story. The slightest change in body position or hand gestures can indicate a change of character. With bharatanatyam there are also eye movements and facial expressions that help tell the story and convey the emotions of the dancer.

@luisa7270 3 года назад
@@cuteladybug8622 Your explanation is great, but you make it seem like kathak has no storytelling or expressive dance, when this is actually not true. A good part of kathak is focused on expressiveness or telling a story, like gat bhav, thumri, kavit, bhajan, etc.

Kathak and bharatnattyam are not at all similar. Kathak has tribhanga folds in all parts except legs while bharatnattyam has dubanggh... Also in kathak the gungrus need to be ties while in bharatnattyam gungrus are attached to pads (leg pads)

The track is composed by my guru Bageshree Vaze of Toronto, Canada, who is a Kathak dancer/choreographer and singer. In my opinion, dancers should always credit the musicians whose tracks they are using. It is unprofessional of you to not mention it in your introduction/include it as part of the artistic brief.

Vidya Patel´s performance has a quality that absolutely makes up for my ignorance about this art. Just one insignificant suggestion, and that to TEDx. Presenting shows such as this one, has my sincere gratitude, perhaps a little modesty, why not eliminate the "TEDx" which is so important in the background. It decreases the magic, and magic that is really worthwhile in this wonderful performance.
