The Troupe

When a dancer dances for civilization she dons her make-up… puts on her  Costume… enigmatic jewels…. She tells a beautiful katha- a story that delicately & intricately unfurls with every anklet clad step... every gesture of the ornamented  hand... with every glance of beautiful black expressive kaajal laden eyes – that demand... and command, capture… and  emancipate with every glance... and take the audience through the most aesthetic, most pure, most potent and powerful form of human expression- dance.

Functioning

Nrityanidhi has set a bench mark in experimentation with Indian Classical Dance, creative or contemporary Kathak. The striking blend of Indian dance forms confluence into brilliant creations and appear spectacular on stage.

Shoma Kaikini (the director of Nrityanidhi) has received significant positive acclaim for her intelligent method of using Kathak blended with Indian Classical dance forms in her choreography. Nrityanidhi uses music from varied genre like “Bhajans”, “Sufi”, “Ghazals”, “Classical” and “Light Classical”. Graceful body movement, stirring Abhinay, precision of footwork and exceptional choreography result in performances that are visually alluring and practically elevating!

Nrityanidhi holds Indian Art and Culture at a high regard and the dancers perform with utmost devotion that is conveyed so clearly to the audience. Their performances have a magical aura so powerful that it effortlessly spreads and touches each person in their audience.
