1. This graceful and spontaneous dance form reveals the poetry, mythology and spiritual ethos of its roots and also, importantly, India's rich Hindu-Muslim heritage. It is, of all the classical dance styles of the country, pre-eminently the one which renders tala, or the rhythmic aspect, as a central focus in its repertoire. Kathak as it existes today is characterized by intricate rhythm patterns sending the audiences into rapture for its sheer artistry, Rounds and fast spins coupled with varied footwork, improvisation and recitation of the dance syllables are the hallmark of this dance form.
