Traditional Kathak Solo by Anjali Nath - disciple of Pandit Chitresh Das

An excerpt of my first traditional kathak solo performance. A tremendous milestone in the development of a kathak artist. Kathak being a traditionally solo art form, the dancer is required to display skills in the four essential elements - technical virtuosity in footwork , turns and movement, deep understanding of rhythm, beauty and subtle nuance of that beauty. The depth and breadth of this North Indian classical dance is endless and thus, requires a tremendous dedication to one's own study. And that pure joy and improvisation only comes with deep, intense practice called Sadhana.

That was so beautiful. Anjali reminds me of Nihidh Saddiqui the great Pakistani Kathak dancer.
