10th Aug 2012. Performance of Iptedaa by a student of Akadami, at the Akademi Community Performance at Westminster Hall, the Houses of Parliament, London. Iptedaa is a technical Tarana item, meaning it doesn't depict a story or message but instead showcases the beauty of Kathak dance through intricate footwork, rhythmic hand gestures and fast spins. The dance is based around the chorus, which are simply the sounds produced by the Tabla (Indian drum). Credit: Carole Edrich / Alamy Live News
