@pri22v11 I had a year's learning in Lucknow style in London many years ago. My teacher was Srimati Alpana Sengupta. I had to stop as I couldn't afford the term's fees, I wasn't working then.

@pri22v11 I went on, in the 90s, to learn Bharatanatyam from an English lady called Sheila Cove or Shakunthala as her guruji, Balasundari from Sri Lanka, named here. It's Kalakshetra style from the 1950/60s we learned when Smt Rukmini Devi was still in charge. There IS a clip of us in the practice studio on here.

Is "ousted due to age restrictions" the official story?

Hi It very often is, it seems, in 'official' sectors anyway. Gurus generally keep on teaching until they drop dead.

This is amazing and beautiful. Pandit Birju Maharaj is a blessing! And- that is definitely Smt. Saswati Sen... she looks wonderful here.
What year was this recorded?
Many Blessings!

It was part of a longer BBC series on Improvisation in music & dance, sometime in the mid 90s, I recall.
