About the Author

 

Swimming and Kathak may not have a mutual
relationship but the renowned dancer Bharti Gupta has been able to establish a
relationship between the two and the combined effect is aptly reflected in her
personality.

 

Dr. Bharti has been able to pursue many diverse
fields and establish an equation among them to derive maximum advantage. An
M.A. in political science followed by B.Ed, an ace swimmer at national level, a
master exponent of Kathak dance, a Sangitacharya from Prayag Sangeet Samiti for
her thesis on Adhyatm (spirituality) in Kathak are only a few of mile-stones in
her life which are indeed interesting as well as inspiring.

 

Dr. Bharti started her training under senior
Gurus at a tender age of ten. Her performances exhibit the virtuosity of both
Lucknow and Jaipur Gharanas. She is committed to innovations and
experimentation.

 

She has performed both in India and overseas
and continues to perform. She was honoured with a Gold medal at Design Expo at
Nagoya, Japan. She was awarded Shringarmani in 1992 (Mumbai) and Pragyan Samman
at Delhi (1994). These days she teaches Kathak at Mumbai, is an examiner for
Gandharva Sangeet Vidyalaya, free lance Journalist and engaged in research work
on Kathak.
