sam
Based in Pune.   Nrityabharati kathak Dance Academy was founded in 1974 by the late Kathak exponent Rohini Bhate.  Under Guru Rohiniji`s direction.  Nrityabharati brought kathak to the forefront of India`s cultural scene.

This invocatory number, a composition of Guru Rohini Bhate, depicts Lord Ganesh as a divine dancer and a percussionist who blesses us with wisdom and knowledge.  Followed by Tarang, a pure dance number that showcases the technique of Kathak.  Next, Kajari, is a piece based in folk music of North India.  It depicts the gay mood of village domsels on a rainy day.  Finally, kathputli is a thought provoking ballet on women`s feelings.
