The summer Kathak workshop at Birju Maharaj Kathak Sansthan, which began on Thursday, has attracted a diverse group of participants eager to reconnect with their passion for dance. Many, like Vaishnavi, a 19-year-old credit card department employee, are pursuing long-held dreams despite busy work schedules. She expressed how the sound of tatkar and ghungroos resonates with her childhood memories, inspiring her to learn Kathak. Anamika Yogacharya, a 30-year-old yoga trainer, has been inclined towards Kathak for several years and uses the workshop as a way to practice due to her time constraints. For Vagavi Prakash, a 37-year-old insurance consultant, dance serves as a therapeutic outlet that enhances her focus.
