"For those who believed in me through out and constantly pushed me – my guru, my parents, my family, and my very close friends,

I now believe I owe it to people to dance.  To develop my own confidence again, to explore what it is I have to offer people and try and share that through my dance.
Kathak is not limited to chakkar, footwork and Radha Krishna chedchad…. But A LOT MORE…

Depth

Elegance

Dignity

… not mere physical, technical skills

This realisation perhaps comes as an artist matures, and ‘Arpan’ looks Kathak through this approach."

- Debashree Bhattacharya
