Swati Sinha is one of the foremost practitioners of Kathak today.Having learnt the nuances of the Jaipur style of Kathak from the great master Pt Rajendra Gangani at the Kathak Kendra New Delhi, she has committed herself to practicing and propagating the art form.
She has performed widely all over the globe and her performances have always been excellent. A bright and vivacious artiste she has gained praise and appreciation from connoisseurs and critics.
Sharp yet graceful movements combined with command over deft and intricate rhythm patterns, lithe footwork and subtle, poignant expressions, mark her style. The right blend of taalim and upaj i.e; the practiced aspect and improvisational aspect, find a place in her recital.
Her creative streak nudged her to present choreographed thematic presentations such as Anvarat, based on the cosmic cycle. Chand Pravah, based on the grammer defined in Natyashastra; of love nature and devotion based on the poetry of Guru Rabindranath Tagore. All her productions aim to keep the sanctity of the style intact.
A complete artiste is the one who understands and accepts the responsibility of carrying a tradition forward. A firm believer in the Guru Shishya Parampara she not only teaches in her institute in Gurgaon but also travels to rural areas in India and many cities in Europe to propagate and spread the art of Kathak far and wide.
Carrying the mantle of a tradition forward as a performer, choreographer and Guru is indeed a daunting task: but she does it all with elan.
For her contribution she has been awarded the Women achievers award by the Women International Network and Vishwa Manav Jagran Manch.
