I do not just teach steps; I work with you on the Abhinaya (expressions) and Nritta (rhythmic patterns) that bring a performance to life. For competition choreography, we go beyond the choreography itself to cover styling, stage presence, and the nuances of Taal that catch a judge’s eye. ### My Approach to Kathak My dance is a continuation of the tradition taught to me by Pandit Birju Maharaj ji and Saswati Sen Didi. When I work on a composition, whether it is a traditional Thaat or an expressive piece based on mythology, the goal is to maintain the purity of the Lucknow Gharana. ### What I Bring to Your Project * **Technical Precision:** Every piece is built on a foundation of rhythmic cycles (Taals). Whether it is a 16-beat Teentaal or a 14-beat Dhamar, we ensure the footwork and Bol recitations are mathematically precise. * **Expressive Storytelling (Abhinaya):** Dance is a language. I help you master the subtle movements of the wrists, neck, and eyes to convey stories from mythology—such as Krishna’s leela or Hanuman’s devotion—so the audience feels the emotion behind the movement. * **Stage-Ready Choreography:** For students and performers preparing for stages, I provide more than just the dance. We look at floor patterns, stage blocking, and costume consultation to ensure you look as polished as you perform. ### Working Together I offer support ranging from online sessions for specific compositions to in-person group training in Delhi and Mumbai. If you are preparing for a national-level competition, I guide you through the process of selecting the right track, editing music for tempo, and building a routine that highlights your unique strengths. ## About Garvita Sharma I am Garvita. For me, Kathak is a conversation with the divine, a path shown to me with grace by my gurus, Pandit Birju Maharaj ji and Saswati Sen Didi. I bring that same dedication to every piece I create, whether we are working in the studio or preparing for the stage.
