PORTFOLIO

Classical Indian Dance Kathak

Kathak (Hindi: कथक), one of the eight forms of Indian classical dances, originated from India, 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.

KATHAK DANCE

North Indian Classical Vocal

Jyotika has specialized in one of the most important styles of Classical Music in North India: Khyal or Khayal. Its name comes from a Persian/Arabic word meaning "imagination". Khyal is associated with spiritual and romantic poetry and allows the performer great freedom of expression through the use of rich ornamentation in the Alaap, and intricate virtuosic melodic passages in the faster parts of the Raaga.
