Question

kathak the dance

Answer 1

Kathak is one of the classical dance forms of India (originally from North India). It is a narrative dance form characterized by fast footwork (tatkar), spins (chakkar) and innovative use of bhav in abhinaya. It has today a form that has been influenced at various times in the past by mythological narratives by kathakas, temple dances, the bhakti movement (both Vaishnavism and Shaivite), and Persian influence of the Mughal courts in the 16th century onwards; and these elements are readily discernible. Performers today generally draw their lineage from two major schools of Kathak: the Jaipur gharana and the Lucknow gharana (born in the courts of the Kachwaha Rajput kings and the Nawab of Oudh respectively); there is also a slightly less prominent Banaras gharana.
