The Indian classical dance is one of the prominent representations of our ancient rich heritage and culture in the world. Kathak, north Indian style of classical dance characterized by rhythmic footwork danced under the weight of more then 100 ankle bells, spectacular spin, and the dramatic representation of themes from Persian and Urdu poetry along side those of Hindu mythology.
The stories focus on Hindu gods and center around passing on knowledge and awareness of creation and moral issues, emphasizing the need to do your best every day. Traditionally, Indian stories are told through movement and dance, with great emphasis on expression and hand gestures. Using the body as a medium of communication, dance is perhaps the most intricate and developed yet most easily understood art form.
