Learn Kathak (Basic Dance Steps) - Tatkaar (Foot Work) - Pali Chandra

Kathak is one of the eight forms of Indian classical dance. This dance form traces its origins to the nomadic bards of ancient northern India, known as Kathakars or storytellers. Its form today contains traces of temple and ritual dances, and the influence of the bhakti movement. From the 16th century onwards it absorbed certain features of Persian dance and central Asian dance which were imported by the royal courts of the Mughal era. The name Kathak is derived from the Sanskrit word katha meaning story, and katthaka in Sanskrit means he who tells a story, or to do with stories. The name of the form is properly कत्थक katthak, with the geminated dental to show a derived form, but this has since simplified to modern-day कथक kathak. kathaa kahe so kathak is a saying many teachers pass on to their pupils, which is generally translated, she/he who tells a story, is a kathak', but which can also be translated, 'that which tells a story, that is 'Kathak'.

[@eternalbliss7736]

Wow! I remember Tirath Ajmani from India. I wish I were still his student and also his wife taught us Bharat Natyam dance. May God bless them wherever they are.

[@chronic7craving]

This is a lot harder than it looks - you really have to concentrate! But looks totally worth it once you get it. Practice makes perfect!

[@dancesfromindia]

Thank You For Watching And Glad You Enjoyed It.

[@chhammakchhallo5821]

Thank you for sharing this, but this is not entirely correct. Aath shabd tatkar (or 8 sounds tatkar) has ALL flat feet. Edi tatkar (or heelwork tatkar) uses the heels for all the bols except 'Ta' and 'Aa'. This is not a difference from gharana to gharana. There is a prevalent misconception of tatkar having the 8th step as a heel, and that is just not correct. Also, since you are teaching the folks of the different speeds, it might make more sense to define it numerically, rather than just saying 'slow' and 'fast' speed. The 'slow' speed was chaugun (4gun) tatkar, or 4 sets of tatkar in a cycle in 16. The 'medium' was aathgun (8gun). The 'fast' speed you did was actually chaugun (4gun) in a faster laya (tempo); if maintained in vilambit laya (the original tempo you were dancing in), it would've been solahgun (16gun) tatkar.

[@TanveeMantri]

How are the legs to be kept straight or bent ????

[@KJAKo]

+Tanvee Mantri Straight.

[@ThePaliChandra]

Tanvee its best to not lock your knees cause there will then be less ware and tear. try to keep the legs as straight as possible.

[@ThePaliChandra]

Tanvee Mantri ..maintain natural flexibility. Align the knee to ankle when you bend. Slow to high speed for warm up fast to slow for a cool down.

[@hashimpt864]

I like it kathak

[@MissTia777]

Why is the attire in every Indian dance so modest? Its not revealing like in bellydance.

[@ana-wp8qx]

Cuz Kathak is not a seductive dance. All classical dance forms narrate a story through steps

[@harrymerits1217]

kathak is the pure form of dance and is used to tell stories of Lord Krishna,Shiva and Vandana of Gods it does not have impurities in it...

[@sehajg4437]

Because kathak and Indian classical dances are like meditation, to go beyond the mind and spirit to experience turiya, that lies beyond knowing. It's not for seduction or gross bodily pleasures.

[@lillianshroff3143]

Classical Indian dance, in my view, is something sacred and spiritual. It’s a dancer’s way of worshipping God, basically through dancing to the Lord’s songs.
