Please go to anjalil or master hari om, for a Little lessons are free of charge and then make a good comments. Because you are masters and i only read a student reunion from Vamana Avatara (gesture) Namascar.

hey (for the girlies) why arn't you wearing the sun and moon head pieace?

[lalatatilaka]

i feel in a dancers point of view their is something that i'm not happy with unlike fraudster under raindancer272.

1. i feel it's too stiff when it came to the jatis it shouldn't be that stiff

2. It would be nice if was a bit more lighter when dancing (my teacher to be more light).

3. it would be nice if it was vibrant.

4. Girls please plait your hair you will have a very good figure buns are out braid hair are in.

5. Really good coordination.

6. would of like to see the end formation properly.

I thought it was really good. and Shanthiji...that was really unnecessary you should support boys that dance because there aren't very many. I think your ignorant Shanthiji even if he was gay by you telling us its not going to make him straight. If your trying to imply that bharatanatyam male dancers are gay in general i think you would be absolutely inncorrect because my brother is a dancer himself and let me tell you hes anything but gay. so lets keep the crap to a minimum.

Wow. You think he likes boys because of how he dances? Damn, I wish I had fine tuned gaydar like you have. Must be from experience? ;)

There's a difference between effeminacy and homosexuality.

And there's nothing wrong with effeminate dancers. If its not to your taste, that's fine, but abhinayam has no limitations. But it just shows how ignorant you are of the art form and its history. E. Krishna Iyer is probably spinning in his grave after your comments.

[shanthiji]

Gay means queer. Are you one?

[shanthiji]

Yes i am, actually and i didnt like it do you even get how this relates to the history of bharatanatyam? btw the guy doesnt look so gay he just dances like a girl.

[raindancer272]

shanthiji are u even a dancer to no this stuff well i am and i think they did a great job and plus he is probably a better dancer than u so try to leavea better comment. and great dance kns

[ardhanariswar]

I agree about the sloppy dancing, but I'm amazed that someone can judge choreography from a two minute clip.

Stage make up is stage make up. Its apparent that you really have no idea how its done, same goes for costumes. And do you even know what gay means? Look it up in a dictionary.

[tisalew]

well i think this is nice, not great but nice none the less
