PRINCE ANDREW - DURGA VS. THE DEMON - PART 1 - SHIVA DANCE

[kumarsa108]

Wow there arent many male performers of Bharatnatyam that can actually pull it off and manage to be both elegant and masculine at the same time. Brilliant. :)

[PrinzAndrew]

@quetzalcohatli Muchas gracias, amigo de Acapulco!

[6973belly]

i am so proud. being an indian I never accomplished what you have done... great dance, great control but please add more expressions but besides that You are the Greatest!

[PrinzAndrew]

@6973belly Thanks! My Bharatanatyam could use a lot of improvement, but

my natural medicine studies (Ayurveda and Homeopathy) took precedence,

so, I have not perfected it. Still, it's nice to have your positive comments. ;o)

[georgeNconrad]

I just love this! I live in Houston and cannot find anywhere to learn this dance form. Soooo, me and this other guy are teaching ourselves from these videos. Thanks for uploading!

[PrinzAndrew]

@georgeNconrad There are schools in Houston that teach this dance form. Google "bharatanatyam schools Houston" to find a list!

[georgeNconrad]

@PrinzAndrew Ok thanks! This is so embarassing, but my friend and I have been mispelling bharatanatyam (we left of three letters) which explains why we could not a school. I'm checking out this list....wish me luck!

[PrinzAndrew]

@georgeNconrad That's funny! Good luck! There are many good teachers and dancers there. ;o)

Nice-both sexes are great to see many styles, the joy of dance cannot be limited by mans opinions-

[ooesteban]

me gusta tu video .

[Kensuke3086]

Andrew my fiend you are great!!

[PrinzAndrew]

There are many amazing female dancers! Have you seen some of the really professional male dancers of this art though? The best of each gender are highly admirable.

[athenabellydancer]

Hi, I took your class a couple years ago at the Belly Dancer of the Universe Competition in Long Beach. I love that you have the dance here on You Tube. I remember the story brought tears to my eyes. Can you tell the story again?

[PrinzAndrew]

Oh, how very nice to hear from you. Did you ever come out to Los Angeles to live? :o)

I will send you the story in a message to you directly!

[GinniLover1191]

love it

[52dalibor]

the greatest dancer in this style was chandrabanu a malaysian man who lived in melbourne australia. his milarepa was one of the most wonderful experiences. he is sadly not widely known but his work was pure genius.

[PrinzAndrew]

Thanks for mentioning him. Are there any videos of his performances? I'm a huge fan of the Milarepa story. I didn't know there was a dance drama about him though. I don't consider my Bharata Natyam to be all that polished...certainly my aramendi (deep sitting) is not manifest in this performance (it has been better in other performances!), but, I hope that I always keep my heart in the right place when I dance.

[52dalibor]

chandra created this piece and geoffery his partner made the most astonishing scenery and costumes. musicians came form india so there was live music. it is such a shame that there is nothing on video.

i am not exaggerating when i say that chandra was one of the most talented dance people i have ever met and his performances were mesmerising. your heart is true and yr perf fluent. ahoj

[warchild81]

I wanna learn how to do that!

[brayankharazi]

Fantastic!

[sunmaidliz]

are all your muscles just from bellydance or do you work out? Your arms are SOO long!

[pretzelip]

This is not bellydancing. This is Bharathanatyam, Classical Indian Dance.

[nejsret]

Fantastic!

[SushiMeatLover]

WOW! That was just amazing
