Artiste Dheerendra Tiwari is set to make revelations to those who believe that Kathak offers no more than twirls and pirouettes. His performance at the National Centre of the Performing Arts (NCPA) aims bring a fresh perspective to the dance.

“The word Kathak is derived from the word katha which means the art of story telling. A kathak dancer makes use of hands and body along with facial expressions to tell a story through song and music. In my performance I will pay an ode to my teachers who trained me in Kathak,” says Tiwari.
