Prof Mohan Khokar and Guru M K Saroja are both benchmarks in theory and practice of Indian dance.
Author Ashish Mohan Khokar set to host noted artists in an extravagant two-day event to honour his parents and dance pioneers, Mohan Khokar and M K Saroja Khokar.
Prof Mohan Khokar and Guru M K Saroja are both benchmarks in theory and practice of Indian dance. Highly revered by the dance fraternity, both are also artiste-academicians with Padma and many other awards to their credit. “The two dance exponents have immensely contributed dearly to the Indian Classical Dance Landscape in India and overseas,” says Ashish.
Bringing forth a marvel of such grandeur is evidently a manifestation of love and reverence for one’s parents, and while he does so, Ashish Khokar says, “Dance has given us meaning and purpose in life and we are blessed by many gurus to serve the cause of Indian arts”.
With 45 books to credit, 85 modules for UGC e-pathshala M.A dance course and 5000 articles in print media in the last 40 years, Ashish is easily the most widely read dance columnist on the internet too. He has devoted himself to the art and the sphere of dance and continues the Khokar family dance legacy with his yearbook attendance along with co-founder and publisher Elisabeth Khokar.
Embellished by luminaries in the dance universe, the two-day spectacle will be an experience to absorb within for dance connoisseurs. Day 1, September 17th, 2022 is slated to unveil the 22nd edition of India’s only yearbook on dance –attendance, guest edited by Ranee Kumar.
