Experience the rhythmic precision and expressive storytelling of Kathak dance. Rooted in centuries of tradition, refined for the modern artist.
Nrutya Bharati Performing Arts Center preserves the rigorous purity of the Jaipur and Lucknow gharanas—the footwork, the chakkars, the discipline—while setting the dance free to explore contemporary narratives.
We believe that tradition is not an anchor, but a compass. Whether through classical repertoire or abstract storytelling, we strive to make Kathak a universal language that students of any age or background can speak fluently.
