Kathak is the classical dance style of North India. It had it’s birth in the temple, where it was used as pantomime to accompany the recitation of the Kathaks, the professional storytellers who recounted and interpreted tales from Hindu mythology. The word Kathak literally means telling a story. It soon involved dance and song as these divine rhapsodist reached the point of ecstasy in their devotion.
