Bharatanatyam Padam

This is being reuploaded because the original post made the clip appear squashed for some reason.
It's my teacher, Sheila Cove (Shakuntala), & myself showing a Padam in Bharatanatyam Kalakshetra style choreographed by her guru, Balasundari, a class mate of the world famous Dhananjayans.
It tells of a devotee of Lord Shiva calling her friends to come & worship at the Chidambaram Temple in Tamil Nadu, south India. It describes the Nataraj murthi or statue of the dancing Shiva.

It does say who the dancers are if you press the BLUE link saying SHOW ALL.

It's myself, NIck Proctor, with my then teacher, Shakunthala aka Sheila Cove.

Yes. Somebody else said that too. We couldn't see how it turned out until after we did it so....

Who are the dancers in this piece?

[Mohamana]

I have to admit tripmonk0 is right about Chandrabhanu.

a friend of mine told me once how he disrespected musicians right in the middle of his performance. But then again most teachers these days are ridiculous.
