Sukrit Kathakaar

Kathak is one of the eight major forms of Indian classical dance. It is the classical dance form from Uttar Pradesh, India. The origin of Kathak is traditionally attributed to the traveling bards in ancient northern India known as Kathakars or storytellers. Wandering Kathakars communicated stories from the great epics and ancient mythology through dance, songs and music. Kathak dancers tell various stories through their hand movements and extensive footwork, their body movements and flexibility but most importantly through their facial expressions.
