- Who says only speedy dance can be impressive? Watch this dance piece on Darbari Aalapi. An excerpt from my latest production 'Magic Melange', a fusion of Indian and Western dances.
This is my favorite Kathak performance on youtube so far. I've watched it several times and I still feel moved by it every time!
This one I am watching after almost 5 years. Beautiful composition. Just mesmerizing. Huge amount of respect for shambhavi ji
What an excellent piece -- very subtle but extremely sharp! As a Kathak dancer I know how difficult it is to have everybody synchronised so perfectly; it makes the achievement even greater -- well done.
I like to watch kathak videos on UA-cam and I have seen a lot of them, but I always end up watching this one. Movements, synchronization, costumes, music - everything is perfection itself!
Awesome
Adorable and graceful performance
अदभुत 👍
I agree with Bellydanceshiva.
It was amazing.
what a finely choreographed piece of kathak! and such precise synchronisation! yet the most imortant aspect that most art forms lack: SIMPLICITY. the music as well is equally commendable for being so integrated, harmoniuos with just the optimum balance. i have not seen this anywhere else so far.
simply beatiuful kathak. thank you
I watch tihs over and over again, i can´t get enough of it, all 4 are so gorgeous dancer... I LOVE IT! Please post more videos, pleeeeaaasssseeee....
wish I could add multiple likes!.... amazing!
I really want to learn Kathak!
These dancers are so graceful and synchronized...so beautiful to watch!
Beautiful girls and exquisite dancing, so perfectly in sync. Just delightful to watch.Thanks for posting
@parleegee I'm not sure what you think "typical Kathak dance" is, but what's performed here is very traditional Kathak. Everything from the music, movements, and costume are traditional in this Kathak style. Kathak is known for it's both it's slow and delicate to it's fast and sharp movements.
that was without a doubt one of the most breathtaking performances I have seen. mesmerizing. I had to go back and watch it a few times..
well done
Ekdam mast
I have seen this video soo many times, just beautiful i wish i could dance like that.
Awesome ; a smooth blending of grace and rhythm;lovely;makes me wonder how beautiful this art has been made ;congratulations to those who are behind this piece
True beauty! I am moved by the elegance of your performance. Bravo! Please do a tour and come to Washington DC!

It is excellent - both dance and the music. All my credits to you kathakshambhavi.
Well done!
Amazing synchronisation.
Would love to watch your dance again and again.
Awesome!
Beautiful, flawless - you are all very talented.
What a beautiful piece!!! AMAZING!
I am afraid I have neither...I don't have the time right now either...but perhaps I can copy dance moves. It won't look right, but since I haven't the skill to discern that, I think I shall be satisfied enough...
Thank you for the experienced advice:)

@Khwaab The Victorian Brits did that. They pronounced the dance indecent & consigned it to the brothel when they took over India. It was originally a temple dance & than it was a court dance long before the Brits arrived.
hi, i am fascinated with indian dances though i admit i dont know much of the culture and beliefs. Do you think i can learn from your posts? I really want to learn how to do the right moves in indian dances..i am a belly dancer btw...
wowie! that was effing beautiful!
Vow! That was a beautiful choreography and amazing synchronization.. Absolutely loved it! Where are you based out of?

قیامت است... بسیار زیبا و عالی ...
BRAVO ME ENCANTAN
please post more videos of her...she's amazing
since my experience of kathak is from Bollywood movies, so I know very little. I would like my niece to learn so I watching vdos now so I can encourage her. One thing see a lot now is that Kathak has become temple dance, like Bharat Natyam. I was under the impression that if was started in the Mughal courts , I maybe wrong. Has it evolved into a mixture of Kathak and Temple dances which as far as I know all most Indian dances got their start from?
Beautiful !
Lucknow Gharana is not only about "art of pleasure". I am a Kathak student in the Lucknow style and I can tell you that my Guruji teaches mostly religious Hindu dances. Every year he puts on a huge Krishna Leela and Ramayana show.
The Mughal influence on Kathak is a part of history, and nothing to be ashamed of. Perhaps you should do some more reading before criticizing.
@shraddhazope: there is a kathak school in Chicago run by Gauri Jog. gaurijog(.)com
Superb
does anyone know which gharana does she belong too?
hi i am in norwich, england. any hopes of finding a school?
Do you know how kathak originated ?? I assume no :)
Kathak originated from "katha" which is a hindi word and kathak means telling a story through dance... It originated as a art of kathakars who used to narrate stories in temples in form of dances in northen india.Most famous Kathak dances are praising Lord krishna inspired by meera n radha :).
this is simply so beautiful...if you ever come to bangalore, please do contact me and Id love to shoot your dance group. I am a bangalore based dance photographer
I've seen nearly every Kathak video on UA-cam. This is still one of the very best I've ever seen.
Just Splendid Guru Ji Shambahvi Dandekar, Thanks for I have the opportunity to learn this beautiful art from your Disciple Shruti Patki, a shadow of your grace... Long Live!
After a year or two I was suddenly reminded of this beautiful piece by Ms. Vazhe and wanted to watch it. Trust me I had to search with so search strings and had concluded that it is unfortunately not available any more. And that is because Ms. Vazhe is now Ms. Dandekar. Congratulations:)
And of course, a beautiful piece. I have shown it to so many people.
Excellent! Very pleasing in a gentle way. A balm to the senses.
Oh! Sweet beautifull Bharat. Love from México 🏵️🏵️🏵️
I hated kathak thanks to doodarshan as it seemed most boring and repetitive of all the dance forms. Today, I am in awe after seeing this performance. I had never seen kathak so beautifully coordinated and with such amazing music. Thanks a lot Shambhavi for making me realize how wrong I have been all these years.
I´m from Turkey and i was so impressed since my childhood for this kind of music and dance Later somehow i found out of the turkish influence in past and that makes me more interresting. And on the other side turkish people has also influences from indian traditional things and mehndi, clothing....
So well coordinated- just stunning dance! 👏🏼👏🏼
Que marviollsa!!! Gorgeous, beautiful, muy muy bonita.
Once that first tihai blocks your eyes, you're finished. Nothing can distract you from these divine girls.
REally unmatchable. Performance beyond comments. Cant be criticized for anything atleast by common men like us. I am surprised the synchoronization of hand movements of the group, how they did it. The photography needs little improvement though.
Salaam Shambhavi. I love this clip. I admire the work of Pundita Rohini Bhate and your mother Guru Smt. Maneesha Sathe. I recently started learning from Nahid Siddiqui in Lahore. She sends her love to you and praises your work. Love and regards, from Lahore.
keval apratim...
i love the music. I love the costumes. and the grace with which each dancer dances. The sync is perfect. The movements are so subtle smooth and graceful. One of the BEST kathak videos on youtube.
Poetry in motion.
one of the most beautiful dances ive seen.
Wow! this is brilliant stuff...looks so effortless and graceful, but actually it has so much footwork and technical finesse which is done so subtly. Truly enjoyed it!
gorgeous choreography, coordination and such graceful dancers!
@Khwaab I agree, I must have watched this video 100x and always find it inspiring. But the courtesans did help to preserve Kathak, which would've been otherwise lost due to the British rule in India. So they had a very important place in Kathak's history.
u very wrong... they so beautiful and great dancers...Darbari kathak is like orchestra all doing together. thanks for postin
جميل جداً جداً جداً. رائع. فن وثقافة وتاريخ في رقصة جميلة. شكرًا على امتاعنا
Simply mesmerizing..So graceful and enchanting!
amazing!!!
So nicely synchronised!! Very smooth flow!
You should put up more videos of your and your school's dances! This was amazing.
graceful rythym nothern Indian style
you guys are really good! i performed this dance too!
great choreography fantastic co ordination
Stunning and simply beautiful
Then came the mughal empire which included it into its culture and originated lucknow gharana.. So we have 3 gharanas for it as far as I know Jaipur, banaras and lucknow.
So kathak done in mughal courts were an ugly representation of a beautiful dance form :)
needs may be a little more cripness i think in some place. but it is soo graceful, soft.
superb co ordination.......
yeah you're right. I should get my butt into gear. thanks z
This is very beautiful.
@azimramariz Indian classical dance takes many years to learn, just like any other classical art form. It really does take a lifetime to learn because there's so much to learn. It's best to learn from a teacher who can give you the right corrections in dance, that way you have the correct basic technique and also so you don't cause any injury to yourself. :-)
how old were you when you started kathak? I want to start learning but it seems the classes are filled with 6 year old kids..
Absolutely beautiful
I think indian people has most beautifull culture in the world... (turkish people are arabics in past - before Byzans) We have to be happy that some things in history is happening and the result are things like Kathak and so many diffrent dances and music..
-...SORRY, my english is not perfect!!
simply beautiful :)
BEAUTIFUL!!
When will you be visiting NYC? I'd love to try a workshop with you!
Shambhavi, Excellent! beautiful, serene. I watched it many times. Background music is very nice. I am not great fan of fusion music. Frankly I would not have thought of it as fusion, unless someone would have told me so. Where is your school located?
.
WoW

beautiful!
Im based in summer hill, close to newtown n ashfield. where abouts do u teach from? I'd be really keen to start learning asap
Wonderful. Thanks.
@Khwaab Is this Pedro Eustache and Paul Livingstone playing? Hard to make out the faces, but sounds like Pedro for sure. Killer players. I mixed an album last year they both played on. I can't make out the tabla player at all. Can't see a face.
Great stuff!
Cheers,
Pete.
