    Explanation:

    The classical dance form Kathak is associated with the state of Uttar Pradesh.

    The word Kathak has been derived from the word Katha which means a story.

    Kathakars or story-tellers, are people who narrate stories based on episodes from the epics, myths and legends.

    It probably started as an oral tradition.

    Mime and gestures were perhaps added later on to make the recitation more effective.

    The Vaishnavite cult which swept North India in the 15th century and the bhakti movement contributed to a whole new range of lyrics and musical forms.

    Some prominent Kathak dancers include Birju Maharaj, Sitara Devi, Baijnath Prasad “Lacchu Maharaj”, Damayanti Joshi etc.
