Kathak is a classical dance form of northern India and the term Kathak is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘katha’ meaning story. Hence it is associated with ‘Kathakars’ or storytellers. The Kathak dancers tell stories through their facial expressions, hand movements and footwork. The three distinguished schools or ‘gharanas’ of Kathak are the Jaipur, Banaras and Lucknow gharanas. Kathak emphasizes foot movement and the dancer wears the ghungroos or small bells and is expected to synchronize their foot movement to the accompanying music.
