Abstract:

"The traditions of kathak, the classical dance form of northern India, can be traced back more than 1,000 years. It is the only Indian dance form that combines influences of both Hindu and Islamic cultures. This beautifully filmed documentary illustrates numerous aspects of the kathak repertoire as demonstrated by some of its greatest living performers. By Robert S. Gottlieb."
