The Chitresh Das Institute presents performances in kathak and the greater Indian classical arts that spark the imagination, and our community-based school and training institution is committed empowering the next generation with the profound pedagogy, philosophy, and approach of kathak icon Pandit Chitresh Das.
In Jan 2025, Kritika Sharma (my daughter) will complete 20 years of dancing with CDI. For 20 years, Kritika has dedicated herself to mastering this art form, evolving from a passionate student to a seasoned performer. Her graceful expressions and disciplined practice reflect the rich heritage of Indian culture, nurtured by CDI's teachings. She is a testament to how tradition and perseverance can create something truly beautiful.
Support the legacy of Kathak by donating to our school, where tradition meets innovation! Every contribution helps us empower young dancers to explore the rich, soulful rhythms of this classical art form, preserving its beauty for generations to come. Your generosity will fund scholarships, enhance our training facilities, and support performances that showcase the grace and storytelling of Kathak.
Join us in celebrating culture and ensuring the future of this legacy thrives. Let's keep the art alive—every donation makes a meaningful difference!
It's the season of giving and I urge my friends and families to help me reach my goal by donating to an artful cause.
