Kathak is often considered slightly easier to start learning for beginners, especially for those who haven't had dance experience before. However, both Kathak and Bharatanatyam require dedication and practice, and the "easier" dance can depend on individual strengths and preferences.

Kathak might feel easier initially due to its more upright posture and flowing movements. Bharatanatyam demands intense body control and strength from day one.

Certified Kathak teacher with 20+ years of dancing experience. Lasayati institute, Porur, Chennai.

As a trained dancer in both these art forms, my observation is Bharatanatyam is more about endurance (yes, the aramandi!!) and Kathak is about agility (one blink and that chakkar is done!). With enough practice, both these forms will appear easy!

Hi When it comes to classical dance forms, one needs lots of determination, sincerity and practice. It's not the matter which one is easier. It's the matter of choice which one attracts you more and you enjoy learning. Although kathak is said to be most difficult dance form in classical.
