Welcome to my Homepage and the World of the Indian Classical Dance Kathak!

Deodatt Persaud is a promising Kathak dancer whose dexterity towards the dance is bound to take him further in exploring and fathoming  what Kathak has to offer himself and to the world. His unique style is hallmarked by clear and articulate move­ments. It is hamonised by a good sense and command over rhythm, backed by powerful pirouettes and crisp footwork.

Deodatt has learnt under the Kathak Maestro Guru Pt. Rajendra Gangani of the Jaipur Gharana. A Govt. of India Scholarship under the Indian Council for Cultural Relations has allowed him to persue and complete his training at
