Visit to Kathak Dance School

Last friday I visited Kathak dance school - run by Mrs Malli at Fbd.. She is a trained Kathak dancer for close to 20 years. She choreographed two songs for me when I was in college. This time I went her to choreograph a Rajasthani folk.. Its been long that I performed on stage.. I remember, my last dance performace at my favorate Ficci Audi - Stage, those lights, huge crowd and cheers.. I loved it all.. Initially the audiance was not supportive, since they were gradation students, they wanted some western performances and I was dressed up in a folk dress, and song was also not very popular amoung this generation audiance. I performed on Navrang movie - holi song.. I had to play a role of girl and as well as for boy. So the moment I turned back and performed the boy's part, there was loud cheer from the crowd and my energy doubled.. :-)

Anyways, This school had small set of girls who learn Kathak dance from Mrs Malli, So what I noticed were the different age group of girls performing Kathak, starting from 5 yrs to 22 or so..
I am aware, even girls with age of 3 start learning Kathak. But I was really happy to see it live a 5 year girl performing Kathak with such a beauty and she remembered each taal. So it was amazing to watch that. Mrs Malli is still using that old phillips casette player.. :-)
I always wanted to learn Kathak, I hope I get chance to learn in the near future...
