Aditi Mangaldas (Born in 1960) is a leading dancer and choreographer in the classical Indian dance form of Kathak. Aditi was brought up in Ahmedabad, where she also did her Bachelor of Science from Saint Xavier’s College. With extensive training under the leading gurus of Kathak, Shrimati Kumudini Lakhia and Pandit Birju Maharaj, Aditi is today recognised for her artistry, technique, eloquence and characteristic energy that mark every performance. After completing her dance training, she travelled to many part of the world as a part of Birju Maharaj"s troupe. Besides dancing and choreographing classical productions, both solo and group, she has broken new ground by using her knowledge and experience of Kathak as a springboard to evolve a contemporary dance vocabulary, infused with the spirit of the classical. She has won much critical acclaim in major dance festivals across the world. She heads the Aditi Mangaldas Dance Company - The Drishtikon Dance Foundation.
On the second night of the Bengal Classical Music Festival 2017, a growing audience watched renowned Kathak dancer Aditi Mangaldas Dance Company alight the stage with a fiery solo performance. Aditi Mangaldas and her disciples from the Drishtikon Dance Foundation graced the stage in the vibrant colours of a peacock, shades of green and blue, and began the first piece for the night- “Utsab”.
