Dance with diverse people
Dance enthusiast like myself. We discussed the famous artists associated with Banaras, we discussed and experienced Kathak and it’s Banaras Gharana…two hours just melted away. All in all a great experience. I will highly recommend Roobaroo Walks!
Dance Workshop
Our Artist teacher, Aditi, had come from Prayagraj and was a skilled dancer. After her workshop, I finally understood what goes on in this form. I had only caught glimpses of Kathak on TV before and heard about Birju Maharaj and Madhuri Dixit. But the performance opened my eyes.
