Article

Kumudini Lakhia’s career as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher spans over sixty years. During this time, she brought Kathak, a traditional art dance indigenous to northern India, into the world of Euro-American modernism. The differences between twentieth-century Euro-American cultural aesthetics and Kathak inhibited the acceptance of Kumudini Lakhia’s work in India.
