About
About me
I started kathak at seven, in a hall not far from the one I teach in now. I have performed in festivals across India, and for the last nine years I have mostly taught, children on weekdays and adults online on weekends.
Kathak is footwork, rhythm and storytelling. Online I teach the counts slowly, with the tabla, so you can practise at home with or without bells. The workbook and audio in the shop are what my students use between classes.
