I was recently at a party and when I was introduced as a dancer, a little girl walked up to me and said she was learning the art form too. I was very delighted to know about her keen interest and I continued the conversation by asking her for how long she has been learning, who her teacher is, what style she is learning while she answered first 2 questions to the T, she was not sure about the last one. I think its very important to educate dance students about style as it has historical significance. Here are some of the popular styles:

 i. Kalakshetra Stlye,

ii. Melattur Style,

iii. Pandanallur Style,

iv. Mysore Style,

v. Vazhuvoor Style.

A lot of information about each of these styles are available on the internet. And it will be very useful to equip your child with such information.

Before the traditional Kathak performance starts a dancer generally pays tribute to God through Guru Vandana. A traditional Kathak performance starts with Aamad (means entrance) followed by Salami (saluting the audience). It then comprises of Thaat (stylised poses with movements of limbs by the dancer), Tukda (Single rotation of any tal (rhythm) or bol (rhythm) of lesser matra), Toda (group of the basic Kathak syllables that usually start on sam (the first beat) and after two or more cycles end on Sam), Tihai (footwork composition consisting of a long set of bols repeated thrice so that the very last bol ends dramatically on 'sam'), Paran (composition using bols from the pakhawaj instead of only dance or tabla bols), Parmelu (composition using bols reminiscent of sounds from nature), Tatkar (the movements of legs along with rhythm (taal) and tempo (lay)) and finally Gat-Nikas and Bhav for Abhinaya (acting).
