In this brief segment of Kaberi Dutta Chatterjee's 2016 Kathak class, the instructor leads a rhythmic exercise, vocalizing traditional Kathak bols such as “na tin tin…”, “damin dam”, and counting beats (one, two, three, four). The chant alternates Hindi syllables and English interjections, illustrating how dancers internalize timing, footwork patterns, and phrasing. A short English query about pausing the session shows the instructor’s attention to learner pacing. The clip serves as a practical demonstration of rhythmic articulation, tempo control, and instructional interaction within a Kathak training context.
