Welcome to KathakNatyam, a Pan-India registered institute for performing arts that beautifully merges two of India's most prominent classical dance forms: Bharatanatyam and Kathak. Located in the vibrant city of Noida, KathakNatyam is dedicated to fostering a unique blend of these traditional dance styles while preserving their purity and heritage. The guiding vision is to create an artistic space where dancers from both disciplines come together in harmony without compromising the authenticity of their respective traditions.
At KathakNatyam, each performance is a captivating amalgamation of 'Nritta' (pure dance) and 'Nritya' (expressive dance), presenting a fresh perspective on classical storytelling through movement. By integrating the rich narrative traditions of Kathak with the rhythmic precision and emotive expressions of Bharatanatyam, the institute opens up new horizons in dance performance, offering audiences an enchanting experience and dancers a broader canvas for artistic expression. The accompanying music, a harmonious blend of Carnatic and Hindustani styles, further enriches the performances, contributing to a unique fusion genre that respects and enhances both dance forms.
KathakNatyam boasts a distinguished faculty that brings together esteemed artists from both classical traditions. Under the mentorship of founders Smt. Rajni Maharaj and Shri Tribhuwan Maharaj, the institute nurtures talent with the same passion and dedication that has been passed down through generations. Students benefit from the expertise of seasoned instructors including Elangovan Govindarajan (Carnatic Vocal & Nattuvangam), Shri Ravindra Kumar Soni (Tabla), Kanika Chandra (Kathak), Koyalika Chandra (Bharatanatyam), Suman Joshi (Kathak), and Gargi Barve Divekar (Bharatanatyam), each of whom brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep commitment to their art.
