Erasing Borders 2009: Festival of Indian Dance
Kavita Bafana (Teacher, Children’s Program “Rhythmic Stories”) |
Partner, Little Ustaads |
|
Born and raised in New York, Kavita grew up in an environment which supported classical Indian Arts. Having the opportunity to bounce back and forth between the US and India, Kavita developed a strong foundation and love for Indian dance and music. Kavita started her Kathak training at the age of 6 and has performed at many venues such as, Lincoln Center, Madison Square Garden and Nehru Center in Mumbai.
Though her first passion is Kathak, having twin boys she quickly realized her classical teaching has to go beyond just dance. Hence, the idea of Litte Ustaads was born. Besides her involvement with the arts she is a full-time referee for her 2 1/2 year old twin boys. Kavita has her BA from Columbia University and MA from Northwestern University. www.tacindia.net |
