Children as young as 5 or 6 can start learning Kathak, as long as they have the motor skills to handle basic movements. However, there's no upper age limit; anyone with passion and dedication can begin at any age, adjusting the pace of learning accordingly.

Kathak is an ancient performance art that emerged in North India, with roots in traveling bards retelling mythical and spiritual stories through dance-acting. Kathak traditionally has included female actor-dancers, unlike Kathakali which has traditionally been performed by an all-male troupe.

While proto-Kathak elements can be seen long before, Kathak evolved during the Bhakti movement, particularly by incorporating the childhood and stories of the Hindu god Krishna, as well as independently in the courts of north Indian kingdoms.
