A noted and a renowned Kathak dancer Yasmin Singh gave a mesmerising Kathak performance before the Bhopalites here on Sunday Kathak at Antrang hall, Bharat Bhavan.
Bestowed with natural beauty, talent and grace, she is an accomplished Kathak dancer whose facial expressions complement her dance and make her performance superbly stunning. Her emphasis is on Perfection, ‘Riyaz’, ‘Taiyyari’ in ‘Tatkar’, ‘Pandhant’ and command over the ‘laykari’. Ability to effortlessly move from one character to another in split of seconds has helped her in winning over the pundits, critics as well as popularity amongst masses.
Subtle ‘Abhinay’ (Acting), lithe and elegant footwork, graceful movements are some of the fine hallmarks of her performance. A magnetic stage presence and complete mastery of technical nuances make her a rare artist who can take Kathak to a new height.
Today, she is one of the most sought after artists to perform in major national dance and music festivals in India. Her performances in various festivals won appreciation from critics and public alike. Her performance in Modhera Dance Festival in Gujarat and in Kalidas Samaroh in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh gladdened the heart of purists and was widely appreciated by critical exponents of Kathak. Veritably, she has carved a niche for herself in the annals of dance.
Yasmin being one of the exponents of the kathak, enjoyed her performance and so even the audiences. It was an enthralling experience for the audience to watch her foot works with the instruments live on stage.
