Udbhava Tarangini Art Foundation

Dr. Ashka Desai founded the Udbhava Tarangini Art Foundation ten years ago with a vision to disseminate knowledge of dance and choreography in the Indian classical dance form of Kathak.  

Initially a practicing physiotherapist, Dr. Desai pursued her passion for dance after a decade of a successful career in physiotherapy, dedicating herself fully to the art form.  

Some highlights of my artistic journey include:
•	BA in Dance and Choreography from the Natya Institute of Kathak and Choreography under the mentorship of Dr Maya Rao
•	Kathak Alankar, completed at Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya under the mentorship of Vidushi Bhrathi Vittal.
•	MA in Kathak from Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth, Pune, guided by Maneesh Joshi, Nryutalalankar.
•	Diploma in Kathak Practical Course covering classical dance forms, including Aprachalit Gat Nikas, and Aprachalit Bandishein Evam Rachnayein, under the guidance of Padma Shri Mahamahopadhyay Dr. Puru Dadheech and Dr. Vibha Dadheech.
