Kathak is one of the eight Classical dances of India.
Originating from North India, DNC specialises in the style of Lucknow Gharana, directly from the lineage of the Late Pandit Birju Maharaji.
Kathak is is a disciplined and well-rounded art-form, which over time can have profound benefits on a person’s physical and cognitive health…As well as practical dance, there is a strong emphasis on theory, history, rhythmic cycles and much more. DNC teaches a holistic approach to Kathak, as a beautiful amalgamation of historic influences of both Hindu and Mughal cultures, incorporating rhythm, poetry, storytelling, footwork, hand gestures and facial expressions. Outside of classes, you will receive inspirational mentoring and support by Nikita, who is a solo Kathak dance artist and the main teacher at DNC Studio. She has trained and mentored several hundreds of kids, teens and adults in Kathak, since 2005. Aside from dance, she is a Yoga instructor, Reiki Master and Life Coach.
