Kathak is a classical dance form originating in Northern India based on Indian epics and Hindu mythology. Kathak, which means storytelling, incorporates intensive footwork with the drama of exhilarating, consecutive spins. The skill of the dancer lies in manipulating the sound of 100-150 brass bells (ghungroos) tied to each ankle to recreate the accompanying music both aurally and visually.

Shivam Arts School of Kathak Dance has multiple locations across Southern California and is now enrolling new students!
