One Kathak dancer with Multiple Tabla Players

It can be difficult to get a good tabla player to accompany Kathak dance. Many can play tekha (or the taal), but are not able to play exact compositions that perfectly match with the dancer's footwork and Kathak composition. For Won Joung Jin, this is not the case. Being a tabla player herself and having many gurubhais who are tabla players has its advantages: 1) she herself can guide a tabla player in accompanying Kathak dance and 2) there is no short supply of qualified tabla artists. Instead of one tabla player, she has three tabla players that she regularly works with (and two of them were American - talk about a diverse show). Each plays with great control and precision, what a treat.
