Very impressed to see this lady absorb the complete experience and enhance it with her teachings. Most beautiful.👍🏾❤️🙏🏾

[@pranavid9549]

I used to watch this video of Nikolina as a 9 year old repeatedly everyday. I learnt dance but was unable to continue. Now I'm 22 and watching this today gives me the same amount of joy it did back then. Absolutely beautiful!

[@nikolina_dance]

Ooh, this makes me so happy! Thank you

[@md2638]

I'm 47 and I am watching it daily and practising it

[@sachins2339]

She presented the best form of shivay in front of us ... I respect . ...

[@allembrace]

This programme, in some form or other ( at least as a video clip) should be displayed and preserved in the united nations for the humanity and human civilization to witness and for the posterity.

[@nikolina_dance]

Thank you so much! It has been one of my favourite choreographies to perform.

[@vishnupriyashaji7074]

This is one of my most favorite bharatnatyam dance video. I had started watching this video since I was 7 and at 12 I performed this on stage. And many more times further. Now at the age of 19 I am once again gonna try to perform this divine piece. Thanks a lot mam for this artistic piece. 🥰🥰🥰

[@Son9]

Honestly one of the best Bharatanatyam dances I've ever seen??? I'm on the verge of tears this is so beautiful.

[@avirocks2007]

bharat natyam you see is atleast 10000-20000 years old form of dance art. This dance art was originally imparted by shiva . It makes you cry because it has spirutual dimension to it. Both the dance and the song. Dance is on certain beats and mudras which make your energy rise upward hence it makes you cry. It is affecting your higher chakras

[@avirocks2007]

Dr. Purvaja thigs were written down after 1000s of years of practise. Even patanjali yog sutra was written down by patanjali in 1st century CE but the knowledge of yoga is older than 15000 years ago. Sae goes with all the vedas. Before that it was imparted verbally.

[@ramabommaraju2715]

You are stuck up Dr.Purvaja! I have no clue what you got your Ph.D in - but i swear to god you never learnt a damn thing!

[@DaisyDebs]

Me too ! Just breathtaking !

[@thejaswini.r.s6941]

🥺😭 I am already crying

[@anithagirish4689]

This is the dance which I was repeatedly seeing for years. Performance is awesome.

[@rohitshan5805]

Simply goddess... Literary cried of emotions... How beautiful is our culture and how beautiful you portrayed it... Jai maa bharti.. first time I have seen goddess element in woman after my mother...

[@balajisrirajdu]

I am a Urban style dancer, I know nothing about this style. But my dad is a classical dancer and when he watches these style I use to mock at him without knowing the value of this style. Man I m sure there is some divine in this art. Gonna learn Bharathanatiyam!! You are my inspiration!!

[@nikolina_dance]

Thank you! I hope you are pursuing your dance.

[@CosmoTuberIsMe]

Nikolina, I have been watching this video since almost 15 years - I can't tell you enough as to how this performance of yours moves me even to this date... the technique, the delivery - I always imagine that I witness this live from the front row one day :)

[@samaganam]

Ms nikoleski,your teacher is truly blessed to have a student like you.You dance better than Indians themselves.

[@bautibhattacharyya8396]

Very, very Beautiful & very, very Excellent performance. 👌👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🚩🚩❤🌹.very, very thanks🙏🙏Nikolina.

[@pranjaldesai7856]

I used to learn bharatnatyam after getting inspired from nikolina. It has been 5 years since I discontinued dancing but watching this today still gives me same inspiration to join back and perform in temples like before.

[@angelialvares]

yes this is one performance that one can never tire of. I keep coming back to see her dance this dance again and again!

[@nikolina_dance]

You are amazing!

[@aviidion891]

What a performance!! I am unable to fathom how 27 people could dislike this??? As long as people don't appreciate each others culture and tradition, this world will not move forward!!!

[@Edward4Plantagenet]

Truly flawless, like water 🌊

[@prasannakumar272]

Nice performance; makes one forget the clutter in the mind, divine.

[@mahankali15]

Nikolina you have chosen the best song for your performance.. This will remain in your record and Indians minds forever green.. God Bless you with more and more such performances and love from all Music and Indian Classical Dance fans..

[@nikolina_dance]

[@aditidas3007]

This performance brought me to tears

[@Happiness_we_want]

Very ethereal and delicate ...just woww... It seemed Natraj himself is dancing

[@krsn5]

As a dancer I am filled with awe watching you dance, your Guru needs to be lauded the most! Your postures are exquisite. All those dislikes are actually likes clicked in a frenzy :) All the best. I am going to copy this to practice postures at home.....merci!

[@NaliniPendyala]

[@nikolina_dance]

[@jsmith3980]

Beautiful dancing, a Bharata Soul.My cousin was a Bharatanatyam dancer in Andhra Pradesh in the 80s.

[@eelsoukov]

Fantastic! I am also a BN student and non-Indian - it feels so good to see that non-Indian dancer can get to the very high level of performance. It is a hope for me as a beginner. Thank you.

[@nikolina_dance]

Thank you! Of course- Dance is universal & doesn't ask about your nationality, It is the love for Art form that only matters, And lot of discipline!

[@mommanaturekid4473]

Stunning performance, appreciate her enthusiasm to learn Bharathanatyam. Apart from learning, she has done justice to the performance. Thumbs up:)

[@Tatapudys]

What a perfect JUGALBANDI between the musicians and the dancer. PURE SYNERGY. Excellent orchestral rendering and powerful, mature choreography , which is not only inspiring but is also a very divine experience. The dancer could create a very calm journey within me though the song had its very clear rythm. Lovely enriching performance. It brought out all the aspects of dance with so much of maturity and the journey thru the dance was PURE BLISS. i personally clicked this at least 100 times.

[@nikolina_dance]

Thank you!

[@allembrace]

It is my fortune to have the opportunity to witness this Classical dance on uTube. Everything about it- the dance,the music, the singing, the opening,the lighting,the ending posture, all are Execellent.Let us state it clearly.In spirituality , in culture,in traditions - no other country in the world can come even close to INDIA. This is all becoz of the supremely noble,positive & universal values of sanatana DHARMA (Hindu dharma ).

[@saisreeg]

Feel blessed to have found this video. What a performance. Pure joy to watch.

[@nikolina_dance]

thank you

[@timepass1971]

wow !! marvellous !! I dont know bharathanatyam, but I love the dance. I have never seen such a perfection. I feel like Shiva himself entered her soul. No simple words can do the justice to her perfection of mudras. May god bless you, Nikolina.

[@vrkrishnakumar1]

What a performance! It shows that she had dedicatedly undergone with so much involvement to learn this Dance. May the God bless this Lady

[@nikolina_dance]

Thank you so much

[@dpinvogue]

She has captured the tandava aspect of Nataraja perfectly - after all, Lord Natesha is tandava incarnate. Very firm in her steps and yet very graceful. Perfect musical accompaniment as well.

[@PichuPeran]

தங்கள் பதிவுக்கு கபீரன்பன் வலைப்பதிவு வழியே வந்தேன். மிகச்சிறந்த நடனத்தை, சிரத்தையுடன், ஏற்ற முக பாவங்களுடன் ஆடியிருக்கிறார்கள். நன்றாக இருக்கிறது. சுப்பு ரத்தினம்.

[@dagezk]

Watching this again and again. I know nothing about classical indian dance, but I love her strength, control, precise movements and perfect timing :-)

[@anon7641]

Why have you stopped Dancing Nikolina? i feel so sad not to see more performances. this is the most perfect version of Bho Shambho... i have haunted FB, KZbin and IG looking for a better version but no one has done it better than you or your musicians - they are brilliant and have contributed to the dance too.

[@nikolina_dance]

Thank you so much! I never stopped dancing, Just stopped sharing it on on youtube, Thank you for your appreciation!

Om namashivaya, wt a beautiful performance, so talented person

[@ramabommaraju2715]

How wonderful! She brings out every meaning of every word of this composition in elegant moves. How she depicts the "matanga muni" is so cute. The dual depictions of bhava sagara taraka is so outstanding! How she abruptly moves to show anantha is beautifully choreographed in to a flowing movement .. totally exhilarating. The mudra for sarva digamabara veshithavesa is just spell bounding! Just loved it everytime i see this great one of a kind dance!

[@nikolina_dance]

Thank you, so rewarding to know you could see all the nuances in the dance.
