Training
At Kathak Rhythms, Kathak is taught as a complete form with traditional methods, combining the best of all Gharanas. While deliberately staying away from the deviations of "Bolly-culture", Kathak Rhythms gives the opportunity to serious dance lovers to focus on the purity of the dance form by emphasis on the detailed nuances of Kathak, namely - abhinaya, taiyyari, laykari and padanth.
While learning, students are provided with the opportunity to hone their presentation skills with examinations and certification through Samved Conservatory, NJ and Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, Mumbai. Additionally, students get to perform at select venues as well as our annual recital, Kathak Bahaar, to showcase their skills and develop their style and confidence.
