This is the British based Kathak dancer & not the famous tabla player. Part of a South Bank Show special with contributions by Sri Pratap Pawar, his guru-ji.
My name is Baba Kalgi lal Maharaj and I am a tabla player/Urdu & Hindi poet/painter/Homeopath. I am a deciple of Ustad Sheikh Dawood ( Marhoom ). I find this British Kathakia Akram an awesome dancer. I hope he pursues Kathak thru-out his life and takes it to new hights
This documentary is brilliant i saw it on tv the other day ... i find Akram to be on par with Chitresh Das at his style of kathuk... To hear from the genius Ravi Shankar priceless ...
yes please post the second part - this was wonderfully educational. He has a book out that I so wish I bought about Kathak - sold in the Nat'l Theater bookshop if anyone's wondering... :)
very nice. I like your dance; Hope we can do music together in near future. I am often in Brussels --now may to july20th; There is lot of scope for tabla player to play with Kathak
Nicholas Proctor Could you let me know the director of this episode of The South Bank Show, is it in the credits at the end of the complete version? Many thanks!
I have learnt with Pratap and hence talking from experience. I have heard from other students as well that he just takes money off them and teaches nothing. He is a brilliant dancer but not a good teacher. Akram is fantastic.

Rhiannon Savell I'll see if I can find it in my massive collection of recorded TV.
Oh thank you, if you can I'd really appreciate it. I've been searching everywhere online but can't find the directors credit. Thanks again!
Rhiannon Savell You could always try the main guy of the South Bank Show called Melvyn Bragg, I think. HE might be able to help, for now.
"guru-shishya" means the relationship between teacher-student
I have learnt with Pratap and hence talking from experience. I have heard from other students as well that he just takes money off them and teaches nothing. He is a brilliant dancer but not a good teacher. Akram is fantastic.
Where can I find the complete version of this documentary?
Where can we find part 2?
As I'm the original uploader I have the full programme somewhere. Where are you based?
Hi there! Is the full version accessible? Would be amazing if so!
Part two?
That family looks absolutely desolate. Something looks wrong, though hopefully not.
Akram Khan is better than Pratap. I dont like Pratap. Very over ratted for what he really is
