Classical Bollywood Dance
Classical Bollywood dance is a specialised form of dance which sensibly merges the techniques and grace of Kathak with the style of Bollywood.
Our London solo dancers main emphasis from the start has been focussed on expression, which she believes brings life and soul to a dance. She is frequently complimented on her grace, facial expressions and ability to feel her movements. She projects an inner depth through her eyes and face which is very unusual for an artist living outside of India.
The techniques and rhythms of Classical Indian Kathak dance are merged and blended with the dynamics and expression of Bollywood dance to create grace, beauty, depth and expression, taking audiences back to the Golden era of Bollywood. Songs from films, such as Pakeezah, Umrao Jaan and Devdas are performed with class and elegance, by trained professionals of the form. See our dance troupe page to read the dancer's profiles.
For a dancer to be able to train in her unique style of dance, they must first study both dances individually. Therefore the company instill training in both Kathak and Bollywood dance into each dancer, to build a strong foundation and appreciation. The dancers which perform at events and for stage productions with the company are pioneers of the style.

Classical Indian Kathak Dance
Kathak is not just a dance form, it is an art and is one of the oldest forms of art in the World. Being one of the seven Classical Indian dances of India, Kathak dance originates from Northern India and has a history since 1550BC, older then any other dance form of today. Classical Indian - Kathak Dance first started as a devotional art form in the Hindu temples of North India in the 15th centaury. It was born as a simple, spiritual form of pure dance which was only danced by priests in front of Gods and devotees.
Over hundreds of years the dance forms evolved and were merged into today's Kathak Dance which is still the only form of dance in the world that is a merge of two cultures although still a very well respected, spiritual and disciplined form of art.
During the Mughal rule of India, Mughal Kings ordered for Persian and Indian Dancers to perform in their courts. The Persian Dance and culture was merged with the Indian arts to build the repertoire and adapt it into a more entertaining form. From here Kathak dance became adapted and Mujra dance started, which became very popular in Bollywood films, hence the misconception of Kathak as Mujra Dance.
The dance form also went through a period through the Rajistani palaces, where the Hindu mythological stories was recollected. Poems and short stories were composed, particularly about Radha and Krishna, which are still danced to today. During the British rule, Kathak was banned for some time before being eventually put on stage in auditoriums and theatres.
Over great lengths of time, the dance form has evolved incredibly, from temples to stages but has still maintained the traditional influences of both the Hindu and Mughal styles. Today there are three
Great masters and Gurus have played a core role in developing the art form’s wide and complex repertoire, and have uniformed Kathak globally.
Today Kathak is one of seven Classical dance forms in India, and audiences get mesmerised by the technical elements including the fast yet precise footwork patterns, the fluid hand movements, the table-top spins and the intricate compositions that are recited and then danced to the beats of the tabla. Not to mention the expressional, storytelling aspect of Kathak dance, where the dancer depicts a story through expression and characterisation.
For a Kathak student to thoroughly learn the form is a life changing experience. In order to justify its technical requirements, expressions, understanding of the rhythmical system etc, they must devote time and sincerity to it. The traditional method of learning which still exits today is known as the Guru Sheeshya Parampara. This is a disciplined and structured way of learning the art form in depth through faith in the Guru (teacher) and their knowledge. There is also the Western method of studying according to a syllabus and taking examinations in Kathak available leading to qualifications.
However, if a student is able to go into depth into the form, they can experience a soulful journey which can be continued throughout their lives.
