unbelievable performance... perfection ... grace in movements ,, expressions in the face... awesome...unless you know the soul of the song ... you can do it .... nice god bless
The divine mother lives within you. I bow in front of your artistic mastery. May god give you more and more grace to promote bharatnatyam which we Indians have ignored. God bless.
@TheJarna: My pleasure, truly! It's a beautiful culture to be a part of, and I feel honored to know this small piece of it. Thank you for your support!
@anooprnair1: That would be wonderful! It's been a long time since I danced in India - perhaps it's time... :) Thank you for all your sweet support. I appreciate it so much. Blessings!
what a grace full performance, beautiful expressions and wonderful meaning full mudras, this video talks about your passion towards bharatha natyam and your profound hard work, You have wonderful blessings of 'thillai Natarajar'. You are just fantastic.
@coolelectromagnet: Hi there! Thank you! My upcoming performances aren't taking me to New York - but I hope to be there in the coming year, and I will be sure to let you know. :)
@coolelectromagnet: Most of my performances these days are at private events, but that will change in the coming year, as I'll be touring the country sharing both music and dance. For updates, feel free to connect to my Facebook page (which, for the moment, is more devoted to music than to dance) by searching for 'Jai-Jagdeesh'. The profile photo is an album cover with lots of blue in it. Thanks again for your support!
When I saw this video for the first time itself, I became a fan of yours. You are just amazing. Born Talent and so graceful your face which is very essential for Indian Classical. Wow......... Words cant express. Love All your Dances. Especially in This Song very beautifully done it.. All the Very Best for your Future en devours. God Bless.
I love this song, & i am a Bharatanatya dancer as well.. You are awesome.. love your moves. Keep it up dear.. i wish i would start dancing again. miss those days... :( I've subscribed already :)
Gosh... terrific... you have indeed mastered the art... Please try to perform Omana Thinkal kidavo... its the greatest lullaby of all time... Again... superb...
@pavanerbeck23: That's so lovely of you, thank you! Most of my performances are at private events, with the occasional exception of outings such as this one we filmed on the 3rd Street Promenade.... I'm mostly in Los Angeles, and sometimes in New York or DC/MD.
I have always been a fan of Bharathanatyam, seen a lot of masters perform, but your video is the one that inspired me to start learning this dance form :) Being an adult, I have to put in a lot of effort to get the flexibility and the speed, but seeing your love for the art form makes me want to learn it too! I live in Northern California, Hope our paths cross sometime and I get to see you perform in person! Good luck! Keep posting!
@archanaik: How wonderful! I am so honored and inspired by your words - thank you so much for sharing this with me. I look forward to seeing videos of your performances! All the best on your journey. Many blessings!
@sathasiva1885: Not sure of the name of the vocalist, but I bet you could find out through a site that chronicles A.R. Rahman's career works... (and thanks for your kind words!)
@orchidjain: Sure! Name is Jai-Jagdeesh, born in the U.S., grew up in Northern India. Love music, love dance. I teach Kundalini yoga, and currently reside in Los Angeles. Hope that's enough. ;)
@20centuryBOY1: Hi to you in Germany! I do have a Facebook page, but right now it's only for my music. However, it will eventually include my dance career - and yes, I'll get new videos on there/here soon! If you do a FB search for "Jai-Jagdeesh", you will find it. Thanks so much for your support!!
Excellent performance...your hand gestures are graceful,when compared to usual Bharathanatyam- trained foreigners.You should work on facial expressions.(exaggerate your expressions a li'l bit).You got your basics correct,but the choreography is very simple.
@XXXMuSiCMAnIaXXXI: Thank you for your support and for your feedback - I always appreciate constructive criticism. Totally agree with you, too; I tend to hold back on the facial expressions, not wanting to overdo it... but of course the exaggeration is a part of the aesthetic, not to mention the stage presence. And yes, this choreography is very simple - it's actually the very first classical piece I ever choreographed, about 10 years ago now. Perhaps time to revisit it...!
u r great..I am a Tamilian..I am ashamed of myself that I couldn't able to contribute anythin 2 my culture..wat u r doin here n this vid s really amazin. .If ur gonna perform in Perth,Aus..please let me know...btw..ur saree s butiful..:)
@sabarikarthik91: Thank you and thank you and thank you! And please don't ever be ashamed of ANYTHING - you are contributing to your culture just by being YOU! :)
Wow. Nice. Keep it up. I am impressed and so I recommended my friends also to watch. But I want to know what made you to take interest in indian classical dance? By the way, are you a hindu?
@SathyaACC: Thank you! I appreciate the support so much. In answer to your questions: I was born a Sikh, and I grew up in India, which sparked my interest in ALL things Indian... I started out with Bollywood fun, and then, as soon as I lived in the South, began studying Bharathanatyam.
Greetings all the way from India. This is a divine dance form and your are making it more divine. Clean expressions for each of the words , perfect tapping of the salangai to the beat. We have a doubt , You must be knowing "tamil" ? right ?
@hiphoptamizha: Thanks so much for your kind words! To answer your question, no, I don't know Tamil. I do speak Hindi, but I have not learned any of the South Indian languages. However, I had a friend translate this song for me before I did any choreography... so, thanks to that, I do understand the lyrics.
@djohnjimmy: You're so sweet - thanks for spreading the word! :)
My family actually lives not too far from you - in Virginia - and, when I lived there, I performed in and around DC a lot, including Maryland. I still have performance partners there... I'll be sure to let you know the next time I'm in the area for a show.
Yes, I agree you are lucky, make full use of it to communicate and influence and motivate others to see and learn what you have. Thank you for your videos, I enjoyed them very much. Keep up the good work and enjoy it.
@chikka1970: You are absolutely right. I was unaware of this when we posted the video - more accurately, I didn't do my research. Wish I'd known. Thanks for the correction!
@pcermomb : Thank you so much! And no, I haven't danced to Jagadodhdharana. I'd love to see a performance of it - let me know if there's one I can find on YouTube.
Ohhh look at those people just walking by, ignorant and stupid. It takes more than 10 years to perfect this form of art, which was beautifully done by this lady - the least you can do it WATCH her dance for 3 mins, and maybe clap?
@sudhakarrd9: I agree; everyone's got different taste, and maybe they just weren't interested... I don't hold it against anyone. We share our art regardless of the audience, right? :)
How drab the other people look. The west seems to have no idea of colour. I'd think that people living in lustreless climes would wear clothes more colourful but the Rajasthanis living in bright semidesert conditions tend to be the most vivid.
@JaiKhalsa But you must have lived in India long enough to learn what you have. Yes Rajasthan is beautiful, but if you want to see the cultural beauty and depth of the world, you should do it soon. Because globalisation is turning this planet into a monolingual, noncultured melting pot of mediocrity.
@RonAlmeida: You're right, I was in India for a long time - 12 years - but I never made it to the desert... Still, I am very lucky in that I get to do a lot of traveling, so I get to see a lot of places on our beautiful planet. :)
@sheshavardhani & @nitinmehra20 : why dont you stop quarreling and explore the beauty no matter how little it is. Aswadana(the art of enjoying) is more important than performing. if rasikas ( viewer ) is not there there would'nt have been any artists in this world . humbleness is the essential qualification needed to become an artist / rasika . friends lets get down to earth. Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu! (Let All Be Happy. Universal Prayer)
@krishnaprasadvarma: Thanks very much! To answer your question, I studied under two Gurus. The first was C. Radha Krishna, in Bangalore. The second was a Kalakshetra-trained teacher named Christel Stevens, who taught in the U.S. Both were exceptional, and I feel so blessed to have been able to learn from them. Thanks again for your support - I appreciate it!
@sheshavardhani I don't give a flying f about what the origins are and its association. Neither am I interested in its history. I am looking at it as art, *just* art. The individual dancing in the the video feels the same. She appreciates it and practices it. Thats good enough.
You can go ahead and do your PHD in it. Ever heard of the quote "Ignorance is Bliss"
@nitinmehra20 Aaaah comonn. Dont ever try to think bharatanatyam is a mere art, its even much above it. I dont need any PHDs. I already learned this form dance and I treat it divine as taught by my guru. I do know all the facts about it. Thats what made me feel sad looking at the performance on the street. I never did criticize her art. I am just expecting respect to the art.
You can go and hide you peanut brain and be happy that Ignorance is a bliss!!!
I dint know you could create a 'channel' on youtube! Sometimes in life you stumble upon things that are out there but packaged in a new way. there comes a person who teaches you something or shows you something or a book perhaps you might have read that amazes you. I dont know much about dance but watching your performance was wondeful!
Writing down these thoughts on a gloomy winter day................
@mohavi088: Thank you for the kind support in your poetic post! I love stumbling upon new things, new ideas, new ways of doing things. It's one of my favorite pastimes. ;)

@pcermomb : Thank you so much! And no, I haven't danced to Jagadodhdharana. I'd love to see a performance of it - let me know if there's one I can find on YouTube.

Ohhh look at those people just walking by, ignorant and stupid. It takes more than 10 years to perfect this form of art, which was beautifully done by this lady - the least you can do it WATCH her dance for 3 mins, and maybe clap?
People nowadays are just too self centered.

@sudhakarrd9: I agree; everyone's got different taste, and maybe they just weren't interested... I don't hold it against anyone. We share our art regardless of the audience, right? :)

How drab the other people look. The west seems to have no idea of colour. I'd think that people living in lustreless climes would wear clothes more colourful but the Rajasthanis living in bright semidesert conditions tend to be the most vivid.

@RonAlmeida: I want very much to go to Rajasthan... for its beauty as much as for its textiles! :)

@JaiKhalsa But you must have lived in India long enough to learn what you have. Yes Rajasthan is beautiful, but if you want to see the cultural beauty and depth of the world, you should do it soon. Because globalisation is turning this planet into a monolingual, noncultured melting pot of mediocrity.

@RonAlmeida: You're right, I was in India for a long time - 12 years - but I never made it to the desert... Still, I am very lucky in that I get to do a lot of traveling, so I get to see a lot of places on our beautiful planet. :)

@sheshavardhani & @nitinmehra20 : why dont you stop quarreling and explore the beauty no matter how little it is. Aswadana(the art of enjoying) is more important than performing. if rasikas ( viewer ) is not there there would'nt have been any artists in this world . humbleness is the essential qualification needed to become an artist / rasika . friends lets get down to earth.

Hi Jai Really enjoyed watching your dance . nice one .. keep it up. btb where did you learn this from ? whos your guru ?
krishnaprasadvarma 1 year ago
@krishnaprasadvarma: Thanks very much! To answer your question, I studied under two Gurus. The first was C. Radha Krishna, in Bangalore. The second was a Kalakshetra-trained teacher named Christel Stevens, who taught in the U.S. Both were exceptional, and I feel so blessed to have been able to learn from them. Thanks again for your support - I appreciate it!

@sheshavardhani I don't give a flying f about what the origins are and its association. Neither am I interested in its history. I am looking at it as art, *just* art. The individual dancing in the the video feels the same. She appreciates it and practices it. Thats good enough.
You can go ahead and do your PHD in it. Ever heard of the quote "Ignorance is Bliss"
nitinmehra20 1 year ago
@nitinmehra20 Aaaah comonn. Dont ever try to think bharatanatyam is a mere art, its even much above it. I dont need any PHDs. I already learned this form dance and I treat it divine as taught by my guru. I do know all the facts about it. Thats what made me feel sad looking at the performance on the street. I never did criticize her art. I am just expecting respect to the art.
You can go and hide you peanut brain and be happy that Ignorance is a bliss!!!

I dint know you could create a 'channel' on youtube! Sometimes in life you stumble upon things that are out there but packaged in a new way. there comes a person who teaches you something or shows you something or a book perhaps you might have read that amazes you. I dont know much about dance but watching your performance was wondeful!
