Kathak Guru · Founder & Director
Jaipur Flok Dance

Trained under the legendary Padma Shri Guru Rajendra Singh of the Jaipur Gharana, Guru Jaipur Flok Dance represents three decades of dedicated study and performance. Having performed on stages across India, London, Dubai, and Toronto, she returned to Delhi with a single mission: to share the living tradition of Kathak with anyone willing to learn.

Her teaching philosophy centres on the idea that technique and expression must evolve together — that a dancer who can execute perfect chakkar but lacks abhinaya is only half a dancer. Her students routinely win at state and national levels.
