I look beyond perfect technique to find the *Bhaav* (emotion) and sincerity in every performance, whether it is a school-level folk dance or a competitive classical piece. For me, dance is a continuous journey of learning. My path has been shaped by the *guru kripa* (blessings) of Pt. Birju Maharaj ji and Saswati Senji, and everything I do—whether on the judging panel or the stage—reflects that Lucknow Gharana foundation. When judging, I view it as an opportunity to nurture. At events in institutions like SRCC, Shaheed Rajguru, or various school competitions, I do not just assign scores. I focus on *Taal* (rhythm), *Laya* (tempo), and the depth of *Bhaav* (emotion). I offer constructive, on-mic feedback that helps students understand the 'why' behind the movement. My judging packages are designed to bring real value to your event: * **Standard Judging (4 Hours):** Ideal for smaller competitions where concise evaluation and a motivational closing address are key. * **Full-Day Adjudication (8 Hours):** Perfect for larger fests. This includes a 15-minute live Kathak demonstration. Seeing the nuances of *Chakkars* and *Padhant* live often inspires the participants and sets a professional tone for the day. I am based in Delhi and Mumbai but travel across India to support dance communities. Whether it is a classical dance contest, a college cultural fest, or a corporate event, my priority is maintaining the dignity of the art while providing fair, insightful evaluation. ## About Garvita Sharma I live and breathe Kathak. My world revolves around the traditions taught by my Gurus at Kalashram, and I feel humbled to share this dedication with you through my performances and judging roles.
