Kathak

Kathak is found in three distinct forms, called "gharanas", named after the cities where the Kathak dance tradition evolved – Jaipura, Banaras and Luck now. While the Jaipur gharana focuses more on the foot movements, the Banaras and Luck now gharanas focus more on facial expressions and graceful hand movements.
