Pune Festival Nadanam
Pune Dance Teacher (Ballroom and Latin-American) teaches at Fusion School of Ballroom Dancing in Pune. Has been teaching dance since 1990 in Pune. Aims to propagate the Dance-Sport in INDIA There is a popular saying that ‘Katha kahe so kathak’, (one who tells a story is a kathak). Etymologically the word kathaka is related to katha, the art of story telling. From literary evidence it appears that in ancient times a class of professional story-tellers recited the epics and the mythological stories with an added eliment of abhinaya-acting. While reciting they sang, danced and acted. The art was handed down from one generation to the next generation in a hereditary manner as an oral tradition. This was prior to the advent of the Mughal dynasty in North India. With Mughal rule these performing bards were banned from performing in temples and were made to serve in courts for entertainment. The Kathakars had to change with history and it is in the Mughal courts that they developed a style for pure entertainment of the emperors. Kala-Chhaya is an institute founded in the year 1965 by Smt. Prabha Marathe- Senior Disciple of the Kathak Maestro Pt.Birju Maharaj- to bring the rich heritage of North Indian Classical Dance form 'KATHAK' to Maharashtra.

Shambhavi Vaze, the most sought after young Kathak danseuse from Pune, has had her training in Kathak dance from her mother and renowned Kathak Guru Mrs. Maneesha Sathe. She has also had extensive training in Laya- Taal and it's aesthetics from none other than Taalyogi Pandit Suresh Talwalkar. She is trained in Hindustani vocal music with Guru Mrs. Mangala Vaidya. Kathak, the free flowing dance of North India has the charm and subtelty of miniature paintings. Odissi, hailing from the eastern shores of India has the lyrical grace and brings alive the temple sculptures. Yogini Gandhi performs both these styles with equal dexterity and virtuosity. After initial training of Kathak at Kala Chhaya, Yogini went on to receive the valued guidance of the legendary maestro Pt. Birju Maharaj. In the Odissi realm, she has been learning under Guru Natabar Maharana and has further honed her skills with the renowned Guru Shri Kelucharan Mahapatra. With her large expressive eyes and graceful movements, Yogini brings forth the splendour of Kathak and the divine grace of Odissi. She is amongst the very few dancers who excel in two distinct classical dance styles. The Trust was established in 1988 with the primary object of supporting the teaching and propagation activities in performing and allied arts, particularly classical dance.
