[**Ustad Akram Khan**](/de-de/artist/akram-khan) is a [tabla](/de-de/instrument/tabla) player and the seventh generation of his family in the [Ajrara gharana](/de-de/gharana/ajrara-gharana).

The **Indian slide guitar** is a guitar laid flat across the lap and stopped with a steel bar instead of fingers on frets. It is an instrument of **Hindustani classical music**, the classical music of North India. Sympathetic strings ring underneath the melody unstruck, and the player plucks extra drone (chikari) strings. The bar never leaves the string, so one note travels into the next without a break. For its history and players, see the [Indian slide guitar](/de-de/instrument/indian-slide-guitar) page. You can learn it with KalaSudha in the [online academy](/de-de/courses). What is Kathak? **Kathak** is a classical dance from north India, one of the eight forms the Sangeet Natak Akademi recognises as classical. A Kathak dancer works with two tools: **chakkars**, fast spins often taken on the heel, and **abhinaya**, the storytelling carried in the face and hands. Ankle bells (ghungroo) mark the footwork, so the Kathak dancer plays as a percussionist too, trading rhythmic patterns with the [tabla](/de-de/faq/instruments-artforms/what-is-a-tabla) in the same rhythmic cycle.
