@syella09 Thank you for your comment and I like reading critique when a classical dancer is not dancing in correct form. I wish other classical dances that were performed on DID were also critiqued on there form also. I think also anyone training in India has luxury of choice and more orthodoxed training. Not saying Nikkitasha hasn't received such training but it is hard to find in America. I think other classical dance performances on DID have there faults too. Beautiful Performance Nikkitasha

@joshi4vedas It's clear she's had training in classical dance because her arm movements are very neat. For DID all classical dancers have to end up doing exaggerated movements since the show needs the dance to be 'entertaining'. A lot of people find classical Indian arts to be "boring" and DID is trying to display many dance forms from India while still being entertaining.

@Prettyprincess1194 : ur right, as soon as people see anyone dancing classical, they instantly think "oh, it's gonna be boring", cuz they don't watch or pay attention. Nikitasha has been trained in USA though. She was training to be a Kuchipudi dancer :)

I'm an Odissi student, in Canada though :D

[monuvimalesh]

right comment

[aka4512]

She does use the stage well but the only thing i don't like is the costume the color is EXCELLENT

by the way but the fan or pleat is not like her blue costumes.

[pushpanjali]

Great to see classical dance on Dance India Dance!

[pushpanjali]

And also one from the USA! :-) I know some people are not entertained by classical dance, but she did great a job of using the stage space like they said. Her expressions were good, and movements clear. It was refreshing to see this on DID.

[igiggles10]

Astalaksmi Stotram!!!! nice nice, luv u tashu, keep it up! <3

[shamugirl]

Hopeless!

[msomu2k]

i do agree wth u as the common entertainment may be missing

but dance wise it is stupendo fantabously fantastic

[shamugirl]

Im saying from the dance pont of view. If you want to see the real classical dance art of kuchipudi go and search for Swapnasundari, Uma Muralikrishna, Sailaja, Alekhya Punjala videos :) thats the real art.

this is just fusion..

[chitranair2488]
