A few years ago I used to care a lot about how people perceived me as a Bharatanatyam dancer. I wanted everyone to know that I had integrity, that I took time to understand the tradition, the nuance, the depth and layering of the form. That I practised like one possessed, trying to be the best that I could be. All other things that I participated in, as a part of life, things I did for my own joy and satisfaction, like attending full days of lyrical jazz class, my training in modern dance, my ra

A short clip from my performance this past weekend. After such a long break form performance, l thought that I’d find it harder to last almost two hours on stage. But the strange thing is that because I haven’t been travelling, or teaching as much, I have found so much time to work on training and practise alone. Ishwara has a lot of Nritta and physically demanding jathis, the performance ended with a Tani avartanam of 8-9 mins which I followed with a Tillana, but I felt strong and present throu

Taught me not to take my body for granted. Took a lot of ice and staying off my knees for many months to get rid of it. So now, if the surface is bad, like the mud in this video, I wear knee pads.... :-
