Kathak- The Indian Ballet

 So this week I'm gonna start with my personal favourite- Kathak.
Its one of the most elegant forms of dance and learning it is not easy task. This form of dance has originated from Uttar Pradhesh of India. It starts with learning the basics of the foot movement called 'Tatkar'. Then comes the 'Chakkars' which is spinning along with foot movements. The Chakkars are also divided based on the foot movement. Other foot movements are the Tihai and Ladi This may seem very simple but it is indeed very tough. It requires a lot of patience and time to learn. But it is the most beautiful form of dance according to me. Click links below to learn some of the basics of Kathak. Till then take care, be happy  keep dancing :)
