Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – The Vallachi Tillana, one of the first compositions that I learned from my Guru Narmada and the first Tillana that I teach my students even today. A beautiful composition by the loving Dwaraki aunty, form bangalore…. Dwaraki Krishnaswamy. In many ways this Tillana celebrates one of the primary women in my life who made me a dancer – Guru Narmada . The Tillana is about the Devi, but this Tillana, for me – also stands for the beautiful person that Narmada aunty was. Although I’m not performing this particular Tillana this month in The series of performances that are around the feminine energy, I thought it was appropriate to share this as I thought about Narmada aunty. I miss her. For upcoming performances www.dancerukmini.com Video @vivianambrose #guru #love #lovemydanceteacher #narmadaaunty #gurunarmada #bharatanatyam #vallachitillana #tillana #vallachi
