Katha Dance Theatre
Rita Mustaphi’s Katha Dance Theatre performs Kathak, the classical dance of northern India. From the word katha, or story, Kathak dance is a fusion of both the Hindu and Muslim cultures. Rita leads a company of three artists, weaving northern Indian storytelling and Katha dance with regional Indian folk dances.
Her presentations are age appropriate, and the activities students do are meaningful and engaging. Her thorough understanding of life in India is demonstrated in the excitement she brings to each lesson. She brings with her great flexibility and can quickly adapt lessons to meet student needs.
