EXTRAORDINARIA  Y MUY JOVEN BAILARINA

Felicitaciones

[angelialvares]

she's not only beautiful but dances like a young goddess, irrespective of whether this is pure bharatnatyam or not. Just so delightful to watch. Thanks for posting!

[nrithyathi]

This is a good dance video but we cant say it is a bharathanatyam, because the upperbody dancer moves like kuchippudi and the aramandi is not stable .there is no such a movvement of thattmettu with a concret aramandi position, it is not the fault of the artist because the Mrs sheela unnikrishnan is basically a kucippudi artist who herself is a disciple of Padmabhooshan Vempati chinnasatyam,

[TanjongTiram]

@nrithyathi this style is based on the melathur bharata natyam style ,, the place where kuchipudi too originated ( fyi not in not andhra)

[riddhiss]

@nrithyathi

[halfrek]

@nrithyathi it's true she def seems to have a kuchipudi style

[vanses2008]

[94bharat]

there are more amazing classical indian dancers (bharatanatyam) like this girl on geedvd/com

[afluker75]

Very lovely. Has some elements of Kuchipudi in it as well. Very beautiful abhinaya at such a young age!

[24sweetshruti]

[aka4512]

[vjpillay]

She is an amazing dancer

[natyacritique]

Nick

[MPHILANN]

very prety

[aki4578]

also can some1 tell me that the last song is a thillana.

[shahanavisu]

yea it is

[aki4578]

i love the last dance clip but I'm sure that it is a thillana but not 100%. but love the clip

very nice song the best 1 i've seen in along time but sadly it's not the whole thing which i think is sad.

so thnxs for the upload

[thethikboy]

pure spiritual dancing - the soul dances

[saefire]

that is her arangetam?

wow!

she's really good for the first stage performance!

[milena1kiriakova]

There is a real beauty and grace in Indian dance which could not be found in any other.

[crowkangi]

yes...she looks like a goddess doesn't she? love it!

[thecoolconejoman]

why do they do the facial expression>

[saefire]

the entire dance is a story

she's acting it out rather than just saying it

the facial expressions are the different emotions the characters in the story feel

[danianjan]

I'd like to see Harini doing this piece. That'd be something to watch.

[kannahvicchu]

wow she is very good..

[worldofdancetheater]

Goddess! Goddess! Goddess!!!

[luvaustin16]

kewl

[parps12]

This one sure will be the next blockbuster superstar. Gosh..she has the most effortless style that I have ever seen. She lives the dance and "creates" the stories told in music and beyond. Dont you see fourth and fifth dimensions?

[parps12]

Long time since I have seen an Alarmel Valli piece. Archana is very active, full of expression and possess a free flowing style. Mudras look great. Dance if full of life!!! The geometries can get better. However, the postures look absolutely great. Dance just blooms, flows, blooms and flows !!!

[karki182]

they dance so well, they're movements are percise. i am 13 and i can't dance bharatantyam this well.

[kasuvanu]

enjoyed

[moroccanchik]

there are wayy better then all the indian bharnatyam stars!!

[indiandancing]

i can't believe this bharata natyam dancer is only 12!

[indiandancing]

the best dancers of india!!!!!!!

[Naisarue]

She's just gorgeous. The energy, agility, control, expressions, grace, fresh youthfulness, yet the obvious mature skill and the way she dances out the stories... mesmerizingly brilliant & spectacular!! She's my idol, with Harini Jeevitha as my close second... Thank you very much for the video!!

[moroccanchik]

holy crap shes so fast!! wow shes my idol!!

[abcdzfk]

yup she is right but i am 9 and i take calles

[abcdzfk]

yes this danceis very good and i am learning this same dance and this part 4 now!!

[puppypink2094]

she has amazing expressions and has a lot of control. lovelt

[genickos]

what does these kinda dance means?

[tropicalsplash96]

wow, she possesses such extraordinary control and grace. she dances with such ease.

[pushpanjali]

Archana's Abhinayam is amazing.

[indiandance990]

Yes, Archana's amazing!!! Being Indian, it always makes me feel good when I see good bharatanatyam dancers from Chennai. No other classical dance has the richness of bharata natyam. The variety is simply so captivating in this bharatnatyam pieces. The choreography highlights the nuances of the Mangudi's bharathanatyam school.

[llivi]

istenem... gyönyörű.. imádom.. I like it :)

[poodle29]

absolutely beautiful facial expression. amazing dancer for so young an age.

[jijujiju31]

i love to watch the sacred temple dances of india, like bharatanatyam, when these are performed by young virtuosos!

[VittaniMoscardini]

wow talent here

[vinal08]

aahh! shes like my frikin idol!

[supergirl341]

you are much faster then harine on many things but her style is different i cant put it into words but you are amazing as well just as hypnotic (in a good way)

[supergirl341]

i like harine javeetha better but you are good too

[Geetanjali1]

I love classical dance and I have to say she's pretty amazing! I have never seen anyone move at her speed and with that kind of grace.

[Rugiviet]

shes the best dancer on youtube!

[dance4indians]

yea, she is a goddess of the classical indian dance !

[indiandancing]

looks like real bharatanatyam!!!!!!!!!

[Ecuaruby]

Wow, I'm mesmerised by her dance movies! Specatular dancing!

[sacreddance]

classical indian dance should look like this: mesmerizing!

[danceofindia]

It is Archana who looks mesmerizing! She is such a wonderful classical indian dancer! Does she learn any other style apart from Bharatanatyam? I don't mean that Bharata natyam is not enough, of course! :)

[ilovebharatanatyam]

Archana R. is rated as one of the top Bharatanatyam dancers in the world.

[sacreddance]

one can only dream to dance the classical indian dance so gracefully as this girl

[SashaDaae]

Wow, thirteen? She is amazing! I totally agree with what LunicorT. Jeez, she is an amazing dancer!!
