Kathak..an art - Page 8

kathak is a very pretty dance form. And the good part is that I am a professional Kathak dancer. :D

If you know kathak ...I bet you can move into and dance any other type of dances. As in - Contemporary, Hip-hop, bollywood dance, tango, flemingo, freestyle and many more.

kathak is the most gracious dance form. and its just fun to dance it. :)

Parul and Sara are way far from kathak. it is not even close to it.

But they are not kathak dancers so cant blame them.

they are told to do by the writers and director. =)

i dont think ki is mahotsav main kathak ya kuchh hoga yeh baat sirf dance ki hai jahan tak kathak aur bharatnatyam ki baat hai usmain to sangeeta and sanjida bhi perfect nahi hongi dono achhi dancers hain sab learner hain but baat dance ki hai dance competion ki kaun better hai usmain definatly ragini is better then sadhna aur yeh ek show hai baat sirf better dancer ki hai ki kaun achha dance karta hai jo log dance main participate kar rahe hain unmain bahtar kaun hai so enjoy the mahotsav

most actresses especially those ones aspiring to go to Bollywood, should learn some type of classical dance for their own benefits only. Heroines who can dance well could excel...history speaks this....starting from Vaijayantimala, Hema, REkha, Sridevi, Meenakshi, Jaya Prada, , madhuri, karishma...all are great dancers. you cant flaw in them...

noone blames the directors or producers because they remain behind the curtain. These girls will be made mockery of. For these girls, esp Parul since she is going to step into Bollywood, its very essential that she takes lessons from a proper guru. Its been one year from Taj Mahotsav, she got enough time and then when people are complaining she does not have enough in Bidaai, then she should make proper uitilisation of her time. Its for her best benefit.

All I know is that the final performances on competition day better be better than the practices which were cringe-worthy.

Hmm..
Yeah,I agree with you..
Kathak has a lot of culture behind it and anyone who loves that form of dance would be disappointed if it is not carried out properly..
I hate it when people do some insane things when they perform Ballet..I am not a Ballet dancer but,I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo very interested in it like most of you here are interested in Kathak..
I wish they show something better on the actual day..Who knows if they're saving the best for the last(By this,I mean the actresses)..Let's hope for a good show!👍🏼

I saw some glimpses of both Sara and Parul's performances, some of Sara's movements were awful, there was no soul in her dance.
I felt Parul was trying to perform very hard and that completely blundered her performance. It seemed she wanted to prove herself the better dancer, and hence the most problem. Her shoulder was waised while doing her hand movement and it was not looking good. We are trained dancers, one glimpse is enough to make out a good number.
I really wished both the girls had got some solid training before this show. It would have been beneficial for their career only...

^^I do understand what you mean.
Any form of dance which has complicated movements is not a piece of cake which each and everyone can do..It requires a lot of training and many don't get it after that either!
But,if you have a look at the reasons..Ragini had left dancing sometime before..She started it again now..As for Sadhna..She is someone who doesn't has any training in dance at all!So,it's hard for them to master the art..15 days!That's a joke!
No offense..But it did look a bit 'off-beat'..
I wish they had stuck to the 'Bollywood' kind of dancing to make it look a bit 'Real'..Sad they went for Kathak which definitely is no cake walk!

actually, none of them have any training.
.if someone leaves dancing for sometime, she wont forget the movements, she might run short of breath while performing continuously. And that is not the problem here, as they are not performing live/ continuously for the shoot. Their moves are not right and above that they are claiming themselves trained dancers and participating in one of the competitions, which was announced to be famous nationally.
Like, Nitrya Mahotsav is soemthing similar to Indian Idol or JJJWS...one can make out the class of the contestents there.
also, as per Bidaai story, Sadhna also used to dance before, she and Rgaini performed together

^^Hmm..I didn't know about that since I never watched it from the beginning..
Sadhna said that 15days mein seekh jaaongi so I thought she was new to it..Anywhoo,if they claim they are trained dancers then they ought to be proving that..That requires some work on the part of actors but,they(The actors) aren't trained so we cannot expect them to do very greatly or something which is why I said,they should have stuck to the 'Bollywood' style of dancing.

And according to me Dancing demands 'Daily practice'..It's like Music and me being a Piano player knows what is the importance of daily practice..One loses touch if they don't do their lessons daily.That's my POV.
