Mahua Shankar belongs to the new generation of
highly talented Kathak performers and teachers.

A disciple of the legendary figure of Indian classical dance, Padma Vibhushan Birju Maharaj,
Mahua started learning dance at the age of five.
Her father, the late Shri Pradeep Shankar,
and her mother, Smt. Rekha Shankar,
were her first gurus. Several of her dance
performances have been choreographed
by her father.

Mahua's mastery over rhythm and movement has
never failed to enthrall an audience, whether
in India or abroad.
