Kathak is a north Indian classical dance that originated over 2000 years ago from the travelling bards of North India referred as Kathakas or storytellers. The Kathakas communicate stories through rhythmic foot movements, hand gestures and facial expressions. Kathak is known  for its characteristic pirouettes, dramatic flourishes, footwork, and grace. Inspired by the rishis and sadhus, Pandit Chitresh Das developed kathak yoga as a training technique that ultimately improves concentration, stamina, endurance and focus.  

In Kathak dance, the performer develops a spiritual association with Earth. Tatkar, which is Kathak’s basic footwork, includes more than the physical dimension; it concerns the power of energy. Energy generated at the soles of the feet while performing Kathak flows up to the crown of the head, streaming through all the body’s cells. As energy reaches the crown, it harmonizes the body and soul.
