\"Kathak<\/div>\n

As many as 25 students learning the subtle nuances of Kathak<\/em> dance, one of the finest genres of Indian classical dance, under the traditional guru-shishya<\/em> tradition, set the dance floor on fire with their mesmerising performance, showcasing the magic of their footwork in perfect sync with their facial expressions.<\/p>\n

\"Kathak<\/div>\n

Kathak<\/em>, considered to be a tad tough among the eight forms of Indian classical dances for learners, has crossed all the barriers and physical boundaries and carved out a niche for itself across the \u00a0international borders. Among those who performed this highly nuanced dance form included students from Kazakhstan. Their performances earned them a humongous appreciation from the audience.<\/p>\n

\"Dance<\/div>\n

The spirited soiree of dances opened to a throbbing start with\u00a0a sublime performance doled out by the teeny-weeny clan of dancing divas under the \u00a0tutelage of dance guru Rakhi. Their pitch-perfect performance based on teen taal<\/em> and jhap taal<\/em>, garnered much adulation from the emotion-charged audience.<\/p>\n

\"mesmerising<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

After this mesmerising dance performance, a spectacular dance rendition by students under the guidance of their guru Yogesh Sharma, left the audience entranced for a while. They started with the Ganesh Vandana<\/em>, followed by Vishnu Vandana<\/em>, invoking the divine. They proved their dancing prowess dwelling on tode tukde, ladi paran, farmaisihi chakkar,<\/em> among others, exhibiting their fine and flawless footwork well synchronising with their bhavas<\/em> (expressions).<\/p>\n

\"Dance<\/div>\n

The show-stealing presentations by Kathak<\/em> sensations, Lunara and Ramina, presented the dance sequence based on ek taal<\/em>, evoking a thunderous applause from one and all. Sheetal and Nisha presented Kathak<\/em> syllables in a typical jhap taal<\/em> tradition, et al. They were accompanied by guru Brij Mohan Gangani on padant<\/em> and Parmod Gangani on tabla<\/em>.<\/p>\n
