Kathak Indian Classical Dance

Kathak is among the six major classical dances of India and one of the most dynamic theater arts in the world. The word Kathak is derived from katha, meaning “the art of storytelling.” I have been studying Kathak dance for ten years. In this video, I am the dancer on the left in this still image.

Board-breaking was one of the sections of my third degree test. I had to break three boards with any sequence of kicks.
