Held on 29th June 2000, this first National Kathak Conference in Leicester was co-organised with Leicester
City Council and Leicestershire and Leicester Arts in Education. Attended by a large number of academics,
arts officers, performers, teachers and dance students, this conference provided a unique opportunity for
those involved at all levels of South Asian dance development to discuss various topical and long-running
issues related to Kathak dance in the UK.
In particular, the conference was intended to consider the past, present and future direction of Kathak dance
teaching in the UK within the wider context of dance developments and to increase the academic profile of
South Asian dance in the UK by addressing the deficit of discussion in this field. Furthermore, the conference
sought to provide a platform for young dancers and dance practitioners to participate in the discussions and
voice their important opinions.
