Thanku very much for sharing

. Ur choreography is excellent and the performers have executed it well. Very nice!
Tell us little abt ur dance school and ur guru. Its all in russian, and the google translation is not much of a help this time.

I just get to view a sample , do i have to subscribe?

Apsara,
Very nice choreography. Congratulations!
BTW, do you know if you are the first person to choreograph in kuchipuDi to tamizh compositions?
Except for bharatanATyam, most of the other classical dance forms of India seem to use songs in sanskrit or the local language (kuchipuDi: telugu, ODissI: oriya, mOhiniaTTam and kathakaLI: malayALam, kathak: hindi and it's dialects and so on). I heard that it was only recently that Saswati Sen had presented krishNA nI bEganE bArO in kathak style...

Thank you...
I believe I am not the first one at all... maybe we simply do not know who else has done it...
Tamizh compositions are so beautiful...
well, modern repertoire of many-many dance companies has songs in Telugu, Tamil, Sanskrit, Kannada, Hindi... Swati Tirunal has composed beautiful tillana Dhanashree and verse is in Hindi.. I saw this dance item presented in Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi... very nice both... but I adore Kuchipudi most

krishNA nI bEganE bArO is a very charming song, I was thinking about it...

Good point, Apsara.
Looking forward to your choreography of alaipAyudE...also, for folks like me, it helps to know that you choreograph in kuchipuDi style, so we can provide just vAkyArtha, and do not have to bother very much with padArtha for requests that you make.
