Guru Shrimati Urmila Nagar, disciple of Pt. Kundanlal Gangani, Jaipur Gharana of Kathak!

Born into a family of musicians, Guru Shrimati Urmila Nagar is one of the few artists of India who is both an outstanding kathak dancer and a reputed vocalist.   Speaking of her first Guru Gopalji of Jodhpur from where the Kathak 'biradari' hailed, she mentioned the speciality of their parhant with 'bold' bols like "Ta tho taranga….." and how it was instilled into her, from the very start, that dance without knowing sangeet would lack that special melody which even a ghungroo sound should evoke. When in Kathak Kendra under the teaching of Guru Kundan Lal Gangani, she had made it a point to enter and watch classes of Guru Sunderprasadji, of Sidhheshwari Devi teaching Thumri singing, of Vinaychandra Maudgalya who took classes in music. She has performed all over India in prestigious music conferences. She is a regular artist of All India Radio (AIR) and has participated in number of music concerts organized by AIR and Sahitya Kala Parishad, Delhi. She was also the Director and senior-most Guru in National Institute of Kathak, New Delhi, a premier institute set up by the Government of India. She has received the SangeetNatak Academy award by the President of India for her invaluable contribution towards Kathak. She has choreographed and given music to a number of dance compositions.
