Guru Shishya
This piece highlights the long standing teacher-pupil relationship, showing the classroom basics of taatkar (footwork), hasthakas (arm movements), and chakras (spins) with live instruments before transitioning to Alisha’s first performance with her Guru.
Vishnu Stoti
This piece highlights Lord Vishnu, the preserver in the Hindu triumvirate, known for his strength, charm, and occasional vanity. It is performed in the rare pattern of Dhamaar Taal (a 14-beat cycle) and is considered one of the most difficult technical pieces in Kathak. Alisha performs alongside her Kathak classmates.
Chaaturaang
This dance highlights the many artistic talents of Lord Krishna—his flute, drumming, and graceful movement—while honoring his role as the god of protection and love. Through expressive choreography and advanced tukras, the piece conveys deep devotion and admiration for Krishna.
Shiva
This powerful Shiva Tandav showcases the fierce and divine energy of Lord Shiva, the God of Dance and Destruction, through intricate Kathak rhythms and vivid storytelling. The piece captures Shiva’s many forms, from serene meditation to dynamic dance. Composed by Guru Divyang Vakil.
