Kathak Dance Recital by Richa Jain with Vocal Thumri and Ghazal Rendition. Richa Jain is a dedicated and acclaimed young Delhi-based Kathak exponent. She started her formal training in Kathak at the age of three under the guidance of her parents, Ravi Jain (a disciple of the late stalwart Shambhu Maharaj) and Nalini Jain (disciple of the late Sunder Prasad and the legendary Kundan Lal Gangani). Thus her style represents a fine confluence of the Jaipur and Lucknow gharanas. She has also been trained in vocal music by Ajit Kumar Mishra, and is currently a student of A. Maheshwar Rao of the Gwalior gharana. A graded artiste of Doordarshan and AIR in light music, she holds a Masters degree in Kathak and is currently working towards her Masters in Music at the Gandharva Mahavidyalaya. She works with the Doordarshan Archive in the fields of classical music and dance. The distinctive feature of Richa's performances is the fact that her abhinaya is accompanied by her own vocal rendition of the thumri, dadra and ghazal.
