About the Company
The Youth Kathak Festival (TYKF) was founded in January 2023 with a simple goal to create a space where youth artists can celebrate innovation in classical art. Our debut at the iconic Bandra Fort, Mumbai brought together a buzzing crowd, a powerful lineup, and a whole lot of heart.
We’re a group of youth leaders who love the classical, but aren’t afraid to question, explore, and experiment. TYKF is where tradition meets innovation, a space where classical art is reimagined through new stories, fresh ideas, and the energy of a new generation.
This festival isn’t just about performances. It’s about conversations, community, and making classical art more accessible, inclusive, and relatable. We’re building something that speaks to now, while staying rooted in where we come from.
TYKF is supported by Banichhanda Dance Academy, whose continued encouragement and belief in young artists have played a key role in shaping the festival’s journey.
