Dance of the mystical snake amidst the sands and camels of the Arabian Desert!
A Bharatanatyam dance by IndianRaga Fellows on the occasion of International Dance Day!
‘Aadu Paambe” literally means ‘dance snake’. This Bharatanatyam item is performed in the Al Badayer desert of Dubai. “Naadhar mudi mel irrukum” in raga Punnagavarali set to Adi talam is the well known composition of Pambaatti Siddhar, one of the famous Siddhas of Tamil Nadu who originally belonged to the Jogi tribe that caught snakes for a living. Here, the dancers depict the myriad roles of the supernatural snake: as the cobra adorning Lord Shiva’s head, as the bangles of Shiva’s consort Parvati, as the poisonous dweller of the underworld, and as the protector of Krishna. All the while they coax the snake to ‘uncoil and dance’.
This innovative recital was created by several performing artists. Dancers Sophia Salingaros, Swathi Jaisankar and Isha Parupudi collectively choreographed the item. The music production by Mahesh Raghvan was supported by Vinod Krishnan (Vocal), Akshay Anantapadmanabhan (Mridangam), Akash Gururaja (Violin), Mahesh Raghvan (iPad) and Vivek Ramanan (Konnakol).

Dancing in sand is no joke, you girls nailed it. Though a bit of a steady shot could have helped in appreciating the formations...None the less, this is a wonderful piece of art
