Kathak dance

Kathak is a classical dance form that originates from North India, characterized by intricate footwork, expressive eye movements, and storytelling through gestures. Traditionally performed by men and women, it blends elements of musical rhythm and narrative, often drawing from Hindu mythology and themes. Dancers wear colorful costumes and sometimes adorn themselves with bells on their ankles, adding to the rhythmic quality. Kathak has evolved over the years, incorporating influences from both Hindu and Mughal traditions, and remains a vibrant part of Indian culture, celebrated for its grace, precision, and expressive storytelling capabilities.
