Kathak Dance Classes - Beginner Level

  • Ballet RI 825 Hope Street Providence, RI, 02906 United States (map)

6-Week Beginner Workshop Series in Kathak Dance

Kathak is one of the eight forms of classical dancing from India. It comes from the sanskrit word "katha" which means story. So a kathak dancer, or kathakar, means storyteller. Kathak dancers perform to tell stories using their hands, expressions, and feet that match the beat of a pakhavaj, tabla, or other types of percussion instruments. Nita Trivedi has been dancing since the day she could walk. She has a background in Jazz and Ballet, but focused on Indian styles over the years. She has taught Bollywood Dancing all throughout Rhode Island for over 14 years, and now is bringing the classical form of Kathak to the community. Nita has been studying Kathak under Anindita Anaam who has trained under legendary gurus Pandit Rajendra Gangani (Jaipuri) and Pandit Jai Kishan Maharaj (Lucknow). Now Nita is ready to bring Kathak to Rhode Island. Take a class with her, and see what Kathak is all about.
