Originating from North India, it emphasizes storytelling through expressive movements, intricate footwork, and rhythmic patterns. This style often incorporates modern themes and music, making it accessible to a wider audience. Dancers typically wear traditional attire, such as the lehenga or kurta, while performing. The fusion of classical and modern styles allows for creative expression while preserving the essence of Kathak.
