Photograph of a woman performing Kathak at an event hosted by the Dalit International Organization at the Riverside Palace Hall in Richmond, B.C.
Kathak is one of the eight major forms of Indian classical dance. Derived from the Sanskrit word kathakar, meaning "storyteller," it refers to the nomadic performers who narrated the tales of Mahabharata and the Ramayana through dance, music, and gestures. It is characterized by its extensive footwork, precise hand and body movements, flexibility, and facial expressions, which all comes together to tell a story.
Riverside Palace Hall is overseen by Riverside Banquet Halls, which offer five unique reception halls in both Richmond and Surrey, B.C. They have hosted small community gatherings, different ethnic weddings, and award-winning Galas.

Group portrait of four unidentified women posing in the Bharatanatyam form at CItyFest.
Bharatanatyam, a classical dance style of India, is indigenous to the Tamil Nadu region and prevalent in southern India. Bharatanatyam serves the expression of Hindu religious themes and devotions. Bharatanatyam was originally performed exclusively by female temple dancers and was not brought to the stage for public performance until about 1930. A vital tradition of Bharatanatyam is a graduation performance, called Arangetram, in which graduates showcase their talents.
