PART 1: KATHAK THEORY + BASICS
In this playlist, Shivani will take us through the background and history into Kathak. Understanding the theory of dance is equally as important as learning the technique. This will help us to understand why we are dancing and give purpose to each step learned. We will learn how to tie our ghungroos, do our namaskar, understand how to clap the bol on our hands, and learn about the different schools of Kathak.

PART 2: TATKAR
We're finally ready to start dancing with some footwork. Shivani takes us through the framework of Kathak footwork. As we lay the foundations of this discipline, remember to take your time and repeat each lesson as many times as you need. Tatkar is often used to warm up in Kathak and will help strengthen our ankles and feet for this art form.
Part 3: HASTAK
In this lesson, Shivani gives us a brief overview of the type of arm movements that we will use in Kathak. She gives us important notes to help us add grace to our movements. Remember to bend from the wrist!
Part 4: TODA (Playlist)
Welcome to the final playlist; we are finally ready to combine our footwork and our arm movements! These lessons are dynamically designed to give you an interactive learning experience. Each lesson takes you through the theory and the movement of each toda.
