Founder and Director, Mital Patel’s pursuit of sharing her love for Kathak and Indian dances has led her to establishing Kalaxya Institute of Performing Arts (KIPA). She has a vision to inspire young minds to the vibrant cultural heritage of Indian dance via Kathak.
Mital has obtained her Visharad with Distinction in Kathak from Bharati Vidyapeeth University, Pune. The complex and powerful footwork, multiple spins, and complicated compositions in different talas are a few of many specialties of Kathak dance that are embraced by Mital as a dancer of Jaipur gharana training under her guru Smt. Swari Sinha. She has also had the honor of learning via workshops by Pandir Birju Maharaj, Pandita Guru Maneesha Sathe and Guru Shambhavi Dandekar.
She also has Bachelor of Engineer degree from Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand.
Mital started dancing at the young age of 7. She has showcased her extensive experience in teaching, performing and choreographing at many platforms in India, New Zealand and Atlanta, Georgia.
