Kathak Yoga – Chitresh Das Dance Company makes history
This work-in-progress premiere of Shabd (meaning sound or word) is the first time Pandit Das’ Kathak Yoga technique is being brought to the main stage, performed by members of the Chitresh Das Dance Company: Seibi Lee, Farah Yasmeen Shaikh, Joanna Meinl, Rachna Nivas, Anjali Nath, Rina Mehta and Dmitra Smith. The dancers perform in both a 9-1/2 beat cycle (sare-nau matra) and a 16 beat cycle in different layas (tempos) Kathak Yoga is one of Pandit Chitresh Dasís innovations within tradition. The dancer simultaneously performs rhythmic composition through footwork, movement and expression while simultaneously reciting the underlying rhythmic structure (theka) and singing the corresponding rhythmic melody (lehara). Pandit Das also adds the element of playing an instrument on tabla, harmonimum or manjira (finger cymbals). Kathak Yoga is a unique and virtuosic practice requiring the dancer to integrate mind, body and spirit, with the goal of achieving pure bhakti through the dance. Pandit Das’ innovation of Kathak Yoga exemplifies the idea that one does not have to go outside of one’s own tradition to innovate. Kathak Yoga and Pandit Das’ work in Kathak was the subject of Dr. Sarah Morelli’s PhD dissertation at Harvard University.
This is awesome, although I want to dance and I know aussi cette? this.
This is so cool, I’ve never seen anything like this before! It’s like a raw, stripped-down version of the spins and footwork of the dance – but then play with song and instrument coupled?? This is There’s Something Opticians Can Do All of this has the same time!

? I sch tze, that lead to a dialogue and f we can not be enforced – I think it’s great! You are right that T? Dancers should “always know where they are in theca, theca are And Then composite performance (and in this case they recited a 9 1 / 2 beat theca) simultaneously WHERE much h? Harder than knowledge , one is reciting in theca (What is too hard, especially when carrying the currency upaj complex, most people arent even the carrying gold guide teaching and learning more -? it is so sad).
Certainly there are a couple of new dimensions of complexity t mark. I see what you say. I try not to fight or something. should I just took Kathak dancer MOST-T’s all in a position to do these three things, maybe at the same time, yes – at some point, we should know where we are. Always! These ladies are obviously well trained and have some polish on all k? A professional production nnte to have momentum.
Kathak Yoga is v? Llig different from what you are talking about. Watch the video again – it does not say the bulk symlinks, they recite the theca At The Same Time they say they play the bowls and Manji (hand cymbals). Extremely difficult and unique!
Yes, that is, that the bottom? Estimation Chhandam die or stupid. The Arts Should Be educated to think more. However, I do not think you’re clear about what is Kathak Yoga. It is much harder than simply recite the dishes – that all T-Kathak dancer to do?. You need to m? The underlying theca (rhythmic patterns) in the same time recite that you are the dancing rhythmically different and often Opposing shells. This unique innovation created by VS Pandit Das and studied at Harvard University.
What does mean CHHANDAM OR THE BOTTOM? Tzung? Ha ha ha It’s so funny. . . I’m sorry, it’s funny! I know not to be Totally unh? Flich here I’ve learned f? in a very long time Kathak ass, and I was not even allowed to dance until I k? nnte remain the bowls and do ‘em (at the same time) and count’ em. And I did not learn from Mr. Das. Hei t that I know? nothing?
Look at the India Jazz Suites clip, it’s there and do it aussi singing and dancing with the Tap Dancer Jason w? While he plays tabla. I Heard Sometimes he is also throwing weights while dancing and singing!
