About Rohiniji

For almost six decades, Guru Rohini Bhate has focused her energies on teaching and performing Kathak, a classical dance style of North India. Groomed in the art by the late Guru Lacchhu Maharaj and late Guru Mohanrao Kalyanpurkar, she has evolved a unique, rich style of her own.
Guru Rohiniji’s multifaceted scholarly interests allow her to cull the best from the rich oral traditions of India. Her study of music complements her literary creations, giving a novel repertoire of Kathak presentations.
Guru Rohiniji’s numerous papers on Kathak have revealed her erudition, and her practical contributions to various Kathak curricula are sought after at different universities.
In her roles as writer, translator, orator, theoretician, teacher and dancer, Guru Rohini Bhate embodies a harmonious blend of high classicism with contemporary expression…. a synergistic celebration of the performing arts.
