Kathakas (formerly Chhandika)
Kathakas are storytellers and rhythm makers. We dance from our eyebrows to our toes. Kathak is an ancient Indian classical dance form, in which one dancer portrays all characters in a story through rhythmic movement and expression. Kathakas create varied and complex rhythmic patterns with their feet.
Kathakas Anjali Nath and Shonool Malik believe in the art as a vehicle for service to society and a path to self-awareness available to everyone. As artists and teachers, they strive to highlight the relevance, universality, and overall benefits of the multi-faceted art of Kathak for audiences of all backgrounds, ages, genders and cultures.

Thank you for yesterday. You surpassed our expectations. Keeping an audience of 3-6 year-olds engaged is not easy and you did it masterfully!
