We all know that Flamenco was developed from Indians who fled the Indian subcontinent and fled to Europe, now known as "gypsies" in Europe or "Roma". They took Indian styles of dance with them including Kathak. The two dances are basically very very similar. Flamenco still retains all the core components of Kathak, including big flaring long skirt, foot work tapping, similar rythmic patterns, hand clapping, hair in bun, and flower in hair. Not to mention spins, hand gestures (called "mudras" in Kathak) and flexible wrist movement.
sorry, but gypsies did not flee india. They are nomads. Your spanish language and grammar owes its origins to (maybe) Gypsies from india spreading sanskrit culture. But, the dance form was spread due to sea trade.;
@Roshani Shiwakoti well, indian kathak dancers were taken by ship to Europe, where they spread their influence, and hence flamenco. The gypsies from india brought something far more. Language grammar.
@@greatobserveroflife6157 uhm no seems like u haven't seen ivc, DNA analysis, Indian culture and Sanskrit language is very much Indian. AIT is debunked grow tf up. Aryans were indo - Iranins and people of Indian subcontinent. Yll owe lot to Asian countries, yll have nothing of own
as history says.. Roma gypsies who originated from North india used to perform kathak 2000 yrs ago .. when Mughals invaded india they fled to Europe and other regions and thus originated flamenco ..hence both styles have similarities..

It is important to film the artists whole body for full depth of the dance to be appreciated,however very good idea to bring together different traditions!
Flamenco dance form originated from Indian dance kathak and indigenous Spain dance bought by gypys or Roma people who were originally Indians to Spain. Seeing this beautifully performed makes me feel connected
Flamenco concentrates more on acoustics with the movement of the feet..whereas Kathak is more expressive with the whole body in use. There can't be any impression of performance pressure in the face while performing as the face itself is the most expressive part of the dance form in kathak. In flamenco its evident that the dancer concentrates on bringing out the right acoustics and therefore has a tense expression on her face. A very good art form. Kathak a more elegant and artistic form in the real sense.
Off course Kathak is more elegant, delicate and energetic. Imagine, Carrying the heavy weight of dancing bells and making footwork with bare feet ( without wearing sandals) is more skillful, difficult and needs years of practice.
brought tears to my eyes to see such polar opposites of ethnicities, form a bond over culture. this is what culture is, and i believe is the strongest glue that can hold people and humanity together. to see west and east combine and form such a beautiful spectacle live must have been a priviledge ❤

They do have a lot of similarities between them but there's another lesser known gypsy dance form in india called kalbeliya dance. I do see some similarities between kalbeliya dance and flamenco. You should see yourself.

hasta tu flamenco español debe su origen únicamente al Kathak indio, por culpa de los gitanos. El español no tuvo cultura de la danza hasta el siglo XVI.
Dude, Flamenco dancers themselves learn the history of the dance. Yes, it is their culture as Flamenco, but the dance does have its origin from India, which evolved as the Roma people who took it with them traveled from India all through west Asia and Europe all the way to Spain and it was during this travel that it evolved into what is now Flamenco. Art and culture everywhere didn't all develop as single monolith

You are right indian fleed from india as slaves of turk when turk invaded india mostly northern west region

@@nitinbull8720 not as slaves because if they were slaves they all of them would have been converted to Islam. They fleed to escape Islamic invasions
Tap or flamenco was rooted from Kathak. Flamenco is more Mascular, bold and full of energy.
Kathak is feminine, graceful and powerful ❤️
as history says.. Roma gypsies who originated from North india used to perform kathak 2000 yrs ago .. when Mughals invaded india they fled to Europe and other regions and thus originated flamenco ..hence both styles have similarities..
Its true

aryans came from outside so many cultures which we think is Indian is actually foreign. not only Mughals but their were many invaders....
Yes, I love the synergy watching these two dances side by side; it’s not a dance battle, it’s art and culture coming full circle!
Those who fled eastwards were luckier

It’s very satisfying to see everything come full circle and we can appreciate the dances for their similarities and their differences

Its not only about dance style, the musical epics that survived on the dance forms that have similarities..
Off course Kathak is more elegant, delicate and energetic. Imagine, Carrying the heavy weight of dancing bells and making footwork with bare feet ( without wearing sandals) is more skillful, difficult and needs years of practice.
They complement each other that's for sure
It is easier to dance barefoot and the bells are not heavy .

Beautiful, both❤
No battle just incredibly beautiful🌹❤️
No battle between kathak and flamenco both invented by indian ,flamenco by gypsy indian and kathak indian
Dancing is great, thumbs down for the camera work. You hardly showed any of the flamenco dancer's footwork, what's the point?
Same kathak footworks could be shown due to her dress
Kathak is breathtaking! Thanks for sharing
amazing!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Superb!

kathak is an Indo-European dance the most of the north Indian dance are Indo-European dance. It's a fact.
Very bad video production ! the most important aspects of the great performances are all missing.
No dance was filmed. (Sad face)
Pareciera que el Bathak llegó con percusión africana, y lo que perdió en gracilidad la ganó en fuerza y energía cuando llegó a Andalucía
hasta tu flamenco español debe su origen únicamente al Kathak indio, por culpa de los gitanos. El español no tuvo cultura de la danza hasta el siglo XVI.
African? It's Indian no we're related to Africa it came with Roma or gypsy people and ofc it did loose smtg and adapt smtg. Kathak is 4ce old dance
Actually flamenco is fusion of kathak and tandav dance form
Whats with all the comments claiming Spanish culture as Indian and discrediting them?
You do understand what you just watched, right?
You are stupid dumb European with no sense of ancient history.
@@SobrietyandSolace because Romani people invented Flamenco who migrated from India
