In the intricate tapestry of my artistic journey, the rhythmic footwork of Kathak, the soul-stirring notes of Hindustani classical light music, and the harmonious melodies of the harmonium come together to create a symphony of passion and dedication.

With 5 years devoted to the mesmerizing art of Kathak, I have seamlessly woven the rich cultural heritage of this dance form into the fabric of my existence. Complementing my dance expertise is a 3-year immersion into the nuances of Hindustani classical light music and the harmonium. This holistic musical education has been further enriched by academic pursuits, leading to a BA in Music and Sanskrit, which has provided me with a profound understanding of the cultural roots that underpin my artistic expressions.

My journey as a Kathak dance trainer began in the heart of my father's academy, where I have been instrumental in shaping the next generation of dancers. The academy, a nurturing space for artistic exploration, is where I currently lend my expertise as a Kathak dance trainer, contributing to the legacy my father has built.

Stepping onto the stage has been an exhilarating experience, with notable performances including a Kathak program on the Ramayana, a narrative that came alive through the expressive movements of this classical dance form. In 2016, I had the privilege of participating in the World Culture Program, a global celebration of diversity and artistic expression.

Both online and offline, I engage enthusiasts in 1-hour practical sessions, sharing the intricacies of Kathak, vocal Hindustani classical light music, and the harmonium. In my teaching approach, I blend traditional wisdom with modern techniques, creating an immersive experience for students. The curriculum spans a comprehensive 1-year course, culminating in Kathak exams that mark the students' journey into the depths of this captivating art form.

Join me in this artistic odyssey, where each dance step, musical note, and harmonium melody tell a story of cultural richness, dedication, and the timeless beauty of classical arts. Let us dance to the rhythm of tradition and innovation, creating a harmonious blend that resonates through the corridors of time.
