Gajab mast👌👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

You're such a beautiful dancer! This is one of the best padams I have seen done on KZbin!!! But just a thought sister, I think the chereography was done by Mylapore Gowri Ammal, not Athai.

Oh! I can't believe it! You replied to me! You won't believe how happy and blessed i feel now when i just see you replied to me. Since first time i saw this video, your dance and everything about it just- how to say- won my heart! Where is WA? Yes, i want to connect to you through social media or other social network! Hope you are also doing everything well!

If you are anywhere in WA, we can definitely sync up. Else the connecting through social media also works until we can meet in person smarana9090.

I will try and add captions in my next video. Or you can email me and I can send you the meanings.

Sorry, I wouldn't know, Gaurinayaka..

Lovely, its amazing how the Internet keeps linking lives on a daily basis. Great to hear from another student of Sir and family :-) I will always love my dance, till the day I die and beyond!

What a subtle and winning portrayal of abhinaya! Inspires a learner like me to want to try harder. It's a lovely piece, very soothing melody, very well sung.

Beautiful. This was the varnam I did for my Arangetram which I did under Guru Hemamalini Arni. Brings back so many memories!

Nice. Do you know what changes were made? Just curious...

I would like to know the meaning behind the gestures.

this is the most beautiful varnam in the whole wide world!!

can you please upload the rest of the varnam

this is so nice! Wish i have chance to know ur person.

The original dance choreography is by Mylapore Gowri Ammal with changes by Smt. Sharada Hoffman. I need to post the rest of it. Sorry that I have been tardy about it.

very fine job Joyce, keep it up. Lord Nataraja gives you strength to continue your practice. purnanandom

Do u remember whose choreography is this?

@madhandagr8 Primarily under the tutelage of Leela Samson and then with Janardhanan Sir at Kalakshetra during my research days. Later with Prof Chandrashekhar and his two daughters Chitra Akka and Manjari.

kalakshetra..:).pristine!

Thank you Malathi Akka. I have had great teachers :-)

I will certainly do that as soon as I get a spot of time. Its from an old NTSC tape. So need to do some conversion and compression before I can post.

Yes, Sancharram, that is indeed me :-) Much younger me though

You are a neat dancer Joyce. Your technique is beautiful!

What a SPECTACULAR video! Perfection max!! So wonderful to see Kalakshetra style so well executed :)

Thanks "DanceAdmirer" - The space restriction makes it hard to post long varnams. I'll try and convert some more soon.
