Tehreek (Teentaal), a Kathak recital by Pooja Pant

A performer, choreographer and Founder-Director of Pooja Pant Dance Company, Pooja started learning Kathak under the esteemed guidance of Guru Smt. Rajashree Shirke at the age of four. After training for 15 years she took guidance from Pandit Arjun Mishra from Lucknow and has travelled across India and the world to perform at various festivals. Known for her technical finesse, delicate abhinaya and adherence to the form, she is the first Indian classical dancer to have performed at the Lawrence Olivier Awards in London and has acquired many accolades for her performance in the musical ‘Beyond Bollywood’ which premiered at the London Palladium and has completed over 100 shows through Europe. She has been awarded prestigious awards namely the ‘Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar‘ award, `Menaka’ trophy, Singaar Mani’ and Gold medal at the National level. Having completed her Diploma in Dance from SNDT university and Masters in Kathak from Tilak Maharashtra University, she has been teaching at her institute ‘Pooja Pant School of Kathak' and has also explored the scope of Kathak in theatre by choreographing and performing in plays directed by various stalwarts like Chetan Datar, Chaitanya Tamhane, Neeraj Kabi, Atul Tiwari, Shaili Sathyu among many.

That smile throughout is good. Retaining smile gets 99% score. I checked various western dance forms. the only missing element between the west and Bharatheeya dance forms is that in our tradition we retain smile always except if there is a real need for other bhava.
