New page

A '''chakkar''' is a circle, or spin. It is a critical element in the Jaipur gharana of Kathak dance, and students begin learning at an early age to develop the form, technique, and stamina to perform precise chakkars.

Dancers begin by practicing circles of nine, which means nine distinct footsteps to complete one circle. Over time, students move on to practicing circles of eight, then circles of seven, and so on, until they can complete a chakkar by simply spinning on the heel of one foot. This is known as the circle of one. Accomplished artists can execute over one hundred consecutive chakkars, either in an arced circle or in a stationary position. This is done using a method in which the head initiates the spin and snaps around, while the body follows. The dancer's arms also help to increase their momentum when completing the circle.
