Chitresh Das Dance Company

“Both entertainment and devotional discipline…one hell of a show.” San Francisco Chronicle

Chitresh Das is a master of “kathak,” one of the six forms of classical Indian dance. Kathak is marked by amazingly fleet footwork, precise gestures, elaborate rhythmic patterns, and improvisation between musicians and dancers. Das and two guest dancers from his company will astonish you with this demanding and enthralling dance form.
