Shovna Narayan is not only India’s most celebrated artiste of Kathak ‘par excellence’ but she is undoubtedly the undisputed reigning ‘kathak Queen’ today! Every fibre of her body lives and breathe dance. An outstanding dancer, a consummate artiste and choreographer. She has blazed a trail in Kathak, bestowing it with dignity and enriching it with a deeper and wider canvas of expression and dimensions. Her name is not only synonymous with Kathak but also with ennoblement. Shovana is a visionary, who has amalgamated the best of both the worlds, the past and the present and who is leaving behind a legacy of believing and living a personal commitment. She displays an infectious zest for life but which rests on a solid foundation of rigorous training and sensitivity, deep thought, intensity and incredible hard work. She in individualistic, contemporary and every dynamic, which make her performances mesmerizing.

Prime donna of Kathak
“Shovana, the reigning Queen of Kathak. . . .
A Soul Stirring Performer”

“Shovana’s feet not just danced and piroutted
but they spoke hundred things. . . . ”
