The Jaipur Gharana of Kathak

What it is: A school of Kathak originating in the Rajput traditions of Rajasthan.

Why I like it: Our bodies are programmed to groove to a favourite number off the radio. What is harder to imbibe, however, is the method in the madness, which is exactly where the Jaipur Gharana comes in. One of the most passionately performed schools of Kathak, the Jaipur Gharana injects a unique flavour of the Rajput disposition into the general expressiveness of its parent dance form. The most striking features of Kathak in its totality are its rejection of unalterable rules and its embracement of fluidity. The Jaipur Gharana carries this norm forward. It presents a perfect balance of blunt force and grace, which sets it apart from cousins like the Lucknow Gharana.This school is a must for anyone desiring to depict their feelings kinaesthetically.
