Aditi Mangaldas (born 1960) is a Kathak dancer and choreographer, who is known for her classical Kathak as well as 'contemporary dance based on kathak" repertoire.[1] Mangaldas is hailed as one of the leading dancers in the field of Kathak in India as well as across the world.[2]
Mangaldas has trained under Kumudini Lakhia and Pundit Birju Maharaj. Besides dancing classical Kathak, she uses the strong foundation of classical dance to evolve a contemporary vocabulary in Kathak, for which she has received international acclaim.[3] Mangaldas has won numerous awards for her notable contributions in Kathak including the National Sangeet NatakAkademi Award in 2013; which due to compelling reasons she declined.[4] She heads the Aditi Mangaldas Dance Company – The Drishtikon Dance Foundation, Delhi, where she is the artistic director and runs the repertory consisting of Kathak dancers and musicians.[5][6]
