Rooted in the grammar and technique passed down by our gurus, we aim to give young artists exposure without any bias, stigma and based purely on merit. TYKF stands as a movement that honors tradition, embraces innovation, and builds the future of classical dance through the voices of its youth.We have launched our own classical dance competition (and the first ever) ‘KathaYudh: A Kathakar’s Battleground’, designed in the battle format popular in hip-hop and other contemporary dance styles, as well as our much celebrated format ‘Emerging Artists’ which gives young dancers a chance to perform in our festivals.

In addition, we collaborate with renowned artists for productions, host flea markets to showcase craftsmanship, support youth entrepreneurship, and promote art-related products. TYKF serves as a one-stop community for dancers to network with like-minded artists, collaborate on projects, and grow within the field of classical performing arts.
