  • This is a rare gem and should be treated with respect. Not many people, at least in the Kathak fraternity have access Pt. Rajendra Gangani's videos. We can learn so much by simply watching this over and over again...

    Btw Pt. Gangani's story reads nothing less than a legend. He met with a fatal accident a few years back and the docs almost gave up. But if you see him dance now...it is a miracle!!! Nothing can come close to him!!!

  • Lol. Sure thing. Besides, human beings are not like numbers and are multi-facetted and complex. Just assuming things based on armchair assumptions (such as Noor Jahan was Persian therefore everything in India was from Persian sources) is the hallmark of lazy, immature, armchair 'scholarship'. Nothing like good, rounded, solid research, and actual experience of the thing before one dares spout forth.

  • I don't like commenting on videos, but I just HAD to leave a little note on this page. This video is simply amazing. I've downloaded it, and I can't stop rewatching it. Congratulations to both dancers.

  • @resplendentsmile It can't be a fatal accident if he did not die - I would say 'life-threatening', serious, near-fatal, coma-inducing etc. but a fatal accident is one in which the victim does from his injuries. Nothing wrong with your facts, just poniting out English usage.

  • Does anyone know what raga is this?

  • Magnifique!!! une grâce absolu, c'est tout simplement un délice !

  • @C0oterBooter Well I'm actually of Indian Descent, and I LOVE Ballet....Tchaikovsky is definitely not boring lol...

  • Awesome Dance - Please also check out my videos. Any feedback is very much appreciated. user: sadiyahchill
