“There used to be a time when Kathak dancers used to be dancers, percussionists and vocalists all rolled into one ; or atleast capable of singing for their expressional numbers themselves , but barring Pt. Birju Maharaj, Uma Sharma and Urmila Nagar, there is hardly any artiste in the present generation to do this. Richa Jain successfully meets this criterion by her versatility. She is a brilliant dancer and a melodious singer too |
