A Sneak peek into Manjiri’s Kathak Journey Welcome to my world of dance, where every step is a celebration of the art of Kathak. My name is Manjiri, and my journey in the world of dance began at the tender age of seven. With every performance, I strive to convey the beauty and power of Kathak, an ancient Indian dance form that holds a special place in my heart. Under the able guidance of Shri Harish Gangani, I pursued a Diploma in Kathak from the Best Kathak Dance Class in Vadodara, the faculty of Performing Arts at M.S. University of Baroda, and graduated with First Class First. My passion for Kathak continued to grow, and I went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Performing Arts in Kathak, winning the late Shri Chandrakala Gangani Gold Medal. I was proud to stand First Class First in the Faculty of Performing Arts at M.S. University Baroda, under the guidance of Pt. Jagdish Gangani. My thirst for knowledge and excellence never waned. I went on to earn a B.Mus. in Kathak with First Class First in Gujarat from Gandharva Maha-Vidyalaya, Ahmedabad in 1994, and a M.Mus. in Kathak with Distinction in 1997. In 2017, I earned a Ph.D. in Dance from the International Open University, USA.
Alongside my academic pursuits, I hold Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Hindi and Sanskrit from M.S. University of Baroda. For over two decades, I have been serving as a Dance Instructor at New-Era Senior Secondary School (CBSE), Baroda, sharing my passion for Kathak with the next generation of dancers. Join me on this journey of passion, dedication, and excellence as we celebrate the beauty and grace of Kathak together. Welcome to my dance world, where each movement honours the Kathak art form. Manjiri is my name, and I started dancing when I was just seven years old. I work hard to convey the grace and strength of Kathak, a traditional Indian dance that has a special place in my heart, in every performance. I pursued a Diploma in Kathak from the faculty of Performing Arts at M.S. University of Baroda, the Best Kathak Dance Class in Vadodara, under the capable direction of Shri Harish Gangani, and I received a First Class First graduation.
