Join our very own Jasmine Simpkins as she delves into the traditional Indian dance of Kathak, one of the eight forms of classical Indian dance. The name Kathak derives from the Sanskrit word for “story,” and true to its name, this dance form is a blend of rhythm and narrative. The Leela Dance Collective teaches dancers the rich traditions of Northern Indian dance while showcasing Kathak on a global stage, with both a professional troupe and young dancers learning the art.
