![]() Brilliant Kathak by Jigna Dixit - Anonna Guha e-mail: abhisarika3@gmail.com March 4, 2014 ![]() Dixit then moved on to display her prowess with Taal Jayat. Each taal has its own mood and temperament which is in accordance with the given beats and division of the taal. Taal Jayat is one of the complex taals, set to 13 beats. Dixit’s command on such a difficult taal was effortless. Her ‘sam’ depiction at various execution points got instant applause from the audience. The fact that even with a light body frame an individual can have very strong footwork, was proved by Dixit in the 24 pirouettes and Ginti ki tihaais set to different permutations and combinations of this complex taal. The concluding item Peet Patware Ne written by Kavi Premanand mesmerized the audience. The composition, depicting Sanyog Sringar, was enacted by Dixit as the nayika complaining about the various pranks played by Lord Krishna but secretly enjoying his mischief nevertheless. Dixit’s portrayal was appreciated by the well versed and rasikas. Dixit is like lightning on stage and at the same time adept at putting forth the softer emotions gracefully. Dixit's performance bore the trademark style of Kathak exponents Maulik Shah and Ishira Parikh. She has several dance events to her credit including Connect, Baroda Festival, Kite Flying Festival and Romeo Juliet.
