Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – Dancing on a staircase is hard… improvising movement on a staircase at this speed is even harder. I honestly don’t know at which point this became possible for me, but it is possible right now, and will hopefully be possible for the next few years – until my body gives way. I usually make these impromptu dance reels while I’m dressed for something else. It just goes “music” and “dance” . That’s it. No time to think or plan. But this is often how I choreograph as well. I let my body respond to the music or to thoughts in my head and I videotape it. I learn the sequence from the video later 🤭 because I have no idea about what I danced. Sometimes I get requests to teach a choreography that I’ve put up on YouTube… and in my mind I’m thinking… Ill have to learn it to teach it 🤣 Thank you for letting us use this beautiful place @shankaraa.foundation And video by @vivianambrose #bharatanatyam #dancer #indiandance #stairs #improvisation #indiandancer
