Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – Whenever I have to take a long flight, I feel like I just want to stay home. But once I get there, the people make everything worthwhile. When an audience is moved, or when students have a genuine curiosity for learning, somehow those long hours on a flight and time away from home feels alright. I have the gift of dance, and through that I have the fortune of meeting wonderful people. So thankful for everyone who had me! 1 : eating a traditional Hungarian pastry. The best thing in that cold. #musttry 2/3/4 : looking at the sights in the castle district in Budapest with the lovely @eva_anjalidance and her husband. 5: post performance joys with @eva_anjalidance students. I’ve never come back on stage so many times for audience applause. Both exhilarating and humbling at once. 6 : students in Budapest. Too many to fit into a square post. 7: @prasanth_artist88 , his wife Yazhini and their lovely daughter who took care of me in Germany. 8: workshop in Germany, again too many students to fit into the square post 🙈 9: workshop in Amsterdam that @sawezer organised. I can’t believe I didn’t take a single picture with her 🙄 @indian.dance.europe she’s the best! ♥️ 10: workshop in Amsterdam by the lovely Anna, at @yojigendojo #dancerlife #travel #indiandance #bharatanatyam #bharatnatyam #classicalindiandancer
