  • yup, there is the entire drama in fact...these are just a few of the scenes

  • wow. some really mediocre students tried to replicate this exact dance, costumes and all, this year in rockville, md, but their dance wasn't even 5% as good as this one and was sadly quite sloppy. i think it's a combination of the synchronization and crispness of form...the way that the artists in this video perform is so entrancing and amazing.

  • So the reality is that I'm not sure. When I was a kid, the three videos for Srinivas Kalyanam that I am posting came out a year after I was born. I know they are partly Vempati Chinna Satyam's orginal few students. It's because of these specific videos that I started to learn Kuchipudi, so I wanted to share them. I know the Vaikunta video has Sasikala in it, but I'm not sure who these two were. Excellent though...

  • The female dancer is Bala. She is an excellently trained dancer, senior-most student of Guru Vempati Chinna Sathyam. She is still performing and teaching the art to many students in India. I met her at Cleveland Tyagaraja Aradhana last year. Wonderful artiste.

  • are there scene I and II?

  • @Preinspiration This music is copyrighted to the Academy of Kuchipudi Dance, Chennai. The music is part of the ballet and is not for sale commercially.

  • wow very powerful performance very enthusiastic, is it possible to buy this music cd for choreography?

  • A total brain cleanser,complete treat to all my senses, mind blowing choreography by Mastero Padmabhushan Dr.VempatiChinna Satyam, proud to be one among hundreds of his students.

  • Parvati is played by Bala, but the man playing Siva is Madhavapeddi Murthy (aka "Baji").

  • This is Guru Vempati Chinna Satyam's ballet Srinivasa Kalyanam. I believe the name of the dancer playing Shiva is Kishore and the artist playing Parvathi is Bala Kondala Rao, who is one of Master garu's senior most students. This is a gem of a dance.
