About Pooja Tripathi

Pooja Tripathi is a promising Kathak Dancer of Lucknow Gharana.

Pooja is holding the title of “Naveen in Kathak” which she completed under the tutelage of Guru Mamta Maharaj (daughter of late Padma Vibhushan Guru Birju Maharaj).

Earlier, Pooja was graduated in all the three disciplines, viz., ‘Kathak (Dance)’, ‘Tabla (Instrument)’ and ‘Gaayan (Vocal)’ from “Prayag Sangeet Samiti, Prayagraj” and conferred the title of sangeet “Prabhakar”.

She has also been conferred “Kathak Visharad” from “Pracheen Kala Kendra, Chandigarh” and “Prabhakar in Kathak” from “Prayag Sangeet Samiti, Prayagraj”.

Pooja has started her initial training in Kathak, Tabla and Gaayan since the age of 5 years under the guidance of late Pandit Alok Banerjee.

At a very young age, she has received many awards from ‘Sangeet Natak Academy, Lucknow’. Apart from this, she has also been honoured with ‘Sarojini Naidu International Women Award’, ‘Sashakt Naari Sammaan’, ‘Women Achiever Award’ etc.

Pooja and her students have performed in Kathak programmes at various locations, viz., “Indira Gandhi Kala Kendra, Noida”, “Hindi Bhavan,

She has also been called to judge dance competitions by various intitutions.

In her free time, she remains busy with her hobby of fashion designing which she left behind because of her passion for Kathak. Despite her busy schedule, she always finds the time for her tiny pots, to show her love for plants.

Kathak is more than just dance—it’s a way of expressing stories and emotions through intricate footwork, swift spins, and subtle gestures. Originating from the northern regions of India, Kathak has evolved over centuries and is known for its dynamic movements, rhythmic patterns, and expressive facial expressions.
