A primer to the season's best bets.
INDIAN DANCE. The man who leads and performs with San Francisco’s Chitresh Das Dance Company moves with the ease of an Eastern, barefoot Astaire. Das trained in his homeland of India from the age of nine to impart the Kathak tradition to the rest of the world. Kathak, a nimble, North Indian dance with remarkably fast footwork, requires gestural elegance and a kind of graceful stomp, an ancient pronouncement at once commanding and lighter than air. Chitresh Das performs in Seattle with two dancers from his troupe, meeting the beat of a furious tabla and increasing the heartbeats of all those in attendance with his virtuosic agility.
