Originally from Bihar, Ram Kishore Das studied for 20 years in Ayodhya with Bhagwan Das and Ram Shankar Das "Pagaldas". He worked for a time at the Jaipur Kathak Kendra, and currently works at the Kathak Kendra in Delhi. Ram Kishore Das certainly has all the traits of his teachers: energy, power, and great excitement in his playing. Here, in this excerpt from a chauta performance for an AIR broadcast, successive parans begin from different points in the cycle: one, two, three, etc.
