Kathak originated from the traveling bards of North India, called ‘Kathakaars’ or storytellers. The ‘Kathakaars’ presented legendary stories about Lord Krishna via music and dance. Over the years, along with storytelling, the dance element also gained prominence. The present-day Kathak is a beautiful amalgamation of storytelling, vigorous footwork, and fast spins!
