This is how everyone should dance. Not simply Spoil with fusion and their own style.. maintenance of the originality of Superb Devi..🌹

I was amused by the way they both nailed theermaanam adavu without missing the thalam! 💗💗💗💗💗 Perfection at 200%

[visalakshik.raman.]

Learning is a lifelong process and a very slow one too.
We learn alphabets and words before we can start writing.
Musicians learn swara by swara and then phrase by phrase.
Artists learn various strokes before they can draw and paint.
Dancers learn step by step and adavu by adavu before thy can dance.
So much hard work can't go in waste. It inculcates a lifelong discipline.

Namaste my dear guru sheela ma'am, as i belong from a small town in odisha and have no means to learn Bharatanaytam from any teacher. But i am so so grateful to you that because of you i am able to learn bharatanatyam by your prarambham and tapasya series. I have also learnt through SDN videos that how the performers invoke shraddha and bhakti in their performance with perfection.I am speechless by seeing your efforts in making these perfect and spellbounding videos. Ma'am as our culture and dharma teaches us to see the Bhagvaan in each human and to be honest i saw him in you! ❤
Shri Gurubhyo namaha!🙏😊

Dear Sree.Sheelaa Unni Krishnan,
Thanks for publishing this Series with revisions.
It is really very heartening to see out Ms.Harinie Jeevidhaa on the stage explaining.
Fine work. Please continue this with continuity with the other sections.
Greetings and Blessings to these kids dedicatedly learning our Bharadham. They undergo grueling "Saadhagam" abstaining from the present day distractions and time kill entertainments.
Special Greetings to them for their interest and dedication.
Their bright and alert face tells the determinations with which they adore Bharadham!

I am stunned to see their postures, rhythm and stability. I am embarking on a journey of learning Bharatnatyam. Excited to dance somewhere near like these girls.. :)

I would live to see some type of collaboration with Sergei Polunin Ma'am! His visit to India helped him in so many ways. All I can say is look him up learn of his story, and it's just as amazing as India culture and I know VERY LITTLE. God bless you and your students past present and future! Namaste!♡ (Hope I spelled that correctly). Blessings from U.S.A state of Indiana!

[missirritated]

Oh I am doing this! At least I will try! Blessings from U.S.A state of Indiana
