My name is Devika Dhir, and I'm a student of Ustad Dilshad Khan, of Chicago. Ustad Dilshad Khan is a globally renowned expert of kathak (patiala gharana), and has been teaching dance in Chicago and Indiana since 1990.  A few years ago, Guruji, as I call him, met Kirti Sheth, owner of the beloved Devon Ave restaurant, Arya Bhavan.  A partnership was formed, and every week, Guruji holds kathak class at the restaurant.  Students are rewarded at the end of class with Kirtiji's delicious vegan fare. It's a truly unique, and classically Devon, experience in my opinion.  This video offers a small glimpse into my experiences with studying, performing, and sharing community via dance on Devon Ave.
