Expect fast footwork, ringing ankle bells and stories told with the whole body. Rukhmani Mehta dances Kathak, a classical dance from North India built on rhythm, storytelling and improvisation. She returns to our stage after her solo show Sandhi.

Rukhmani trained for years with the Kathak master Pandit Chitresh Das, and today she co-leads her own company, Leela Dance Collective. Much of her work is improvised with live musicians, so no two performances are quite the same. It's a good pick if you've never seen Indian classical dance, and an easy afternoon outing for the whole family.

Bring someone who has never heard Kathak bells up close.
