Learning Kathak

                                       

This summer, I've embarked on the somewhat ambitious plan to learn at least the basics of the classical Indian dance form Kathak, in addition to the Scottish highland dancing I know and love.  I have had two classes now and am getting familiar with the basic Tintal or 16-beat rhythm, and the percussive foot movements that go with it.  I had a practice session recently with Vanisha Gandhi '10, who has studied Kathak, so I thought I'd post some pictures.
