Kathak, the ancient dance form that finds its roots in the act of story-telling, is one of the seven classical dance styles of North India. As much as its classism, Kathak is also celebrated as one of the most spectacular and dynamic dance forms in the world.
Mohini, the teacher and founding director at Manmohini Indian Dance School, is a master’s degree holder in Indian Classical dance, from University of Pune, India. She established the dance school in 2009, and has been training students of many cultural backgrounds and performing in various multicultural events over the years.
As a passionate Kathak dancer, Mohini creates opportunities for every student to perform with confidence in a group and in through solos. Currently, there are more than 50 students from various suburbs of Melbourne learning from Mohini.
Mohini and her students will be a putting up a pulsating Kathak performance at the Diwali at Fed Square event.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
