## About Kathak Choreography

### My Approach to Kathak Choreography

Choreography for me is more than just steps - it's a way to connect with something bigger. My training comes straight from the Lucknow Gharana, thanks to my gurus, Pandit Birju Maharaj ji and Saswati Sen Didi. Every piece I make is soaked in that tradition and the *guru-shishya parampara* (teacher-student bond).

### What I Offer

- Full dance productions - from theme to stage, I help shape the story and music.
- Solo and group pieces - whether you want a solo for yourself or a group number, I create choreography that fits your vibe and skill.
- Kathak competition choreography - I love prepping dancers for competitions, making sure their strengths shine.

### My Style

I mix *abhinaya* (expressive storytelling) and *nritta* (pure dance and rhythm). We dive into stories from mythology - Krishna ke leela (playful tales), Hanuman ki bhakti (devotion), Radha ka prem (divine love). Technical stuff like tukdas, parans, tihais, and different taals (rhythmic cycles) are always part of the process.

### Where & How

Mostly, I work in Delhi and Mumbai. But if you're somewhere else, online sessions are totally doable.

If you want choreography that's rooted in Lucknow Gharana Kathak and brings out real storytelling through dance, let's make it happen.

### My story

Kathak for me? It’s everything. I learnt under Maharaj ji and Saswati Didi at Kalashram - that place is like my second home. Sometimes I’m in Delhi, sometimes Mumbai, always dancing. Once dreamt of studying at SRCC, but life had other plans - ended up judging a dance show there years later! My Gurus’ blessings, lots of riyaaz (practice), and the stage - that’s my real story. Tasmai Shri Gurave Namah.

### My work

- **What I offer**: Solo and group Kathak performances, choreography, regular and special Kathak classes, and I judge dance competitions.
- **My Kathak roots**: I belong to the Lucknow Gharana - all my training is under Maharaj ji and Saswati Didi, and I teach the same way.
- **How I teach**: All sincere learners welcome, from total newbies to advanced. I focus on both Nritta (technique) and Nritya (expression).
- **Performances & choreography**: I’ve performed and choreographed productions like 'Ramasmaran' across India. Connecting with art lovers matters the most.
