Saratoga, CA: Kathakanjali 2023 by Dance Karishma was held at Prospect HS auditorium. It was truly the culmination of twenty years of experience putting shows together. In four months not just a show with multiple dances was presented but also it was strung together into a NAAYIKA (women in leading role) centered dance drama.
While the world talks of Gautam Buddha- we brought to the limelight the journey of his better half, which was no less captivating! It was replete with all the bhaav and rasas of this art form… It had a variety and kept it interesting with dances on just music in baithaki, with just bhaav, spanning the festivals like Holi and Ganesh Utsav, The songs from Quala that are the latest heart winners and the golden era of Piya tose naina large. Solo performances and group performances were beautifully conceptualized by our Guru Jaya Sharma Ji.
This was a great opportunity for the Dance Karishma family to bond over the last few months and definitely got thicker.
Many youth and young children sat through the whole show and watched every bit of it keenly. It was a great opportunity for them to gain exposure to India culture and values.
Dance Karishma is a leading Kathak dance school dedicated to promoting Kathak dance in Bay Area, California.
