I’m dancing parts of the Nachiyar kautvam in this video… but this song represents the emotive base of my performance “Krishnaa”
I had a fulfilling experience on stage today. I was able to lose myself in the dance for the most part. I’m exhausted but happy…
Thankful to everyone who made this possible.

“Srishti”, Episode 2, now released on the Raadha Kalpa YouTube channel.
Don’t miss the story of Shiva and Parvati!

I’m releasing “Srishti” as an episodic dance theater series on Raadha Kalpa’s YouTube channel. The second episode comes out this Monday.
I used a lot of Karanas in this particular dance section. It felt appropriate…. For those of you don’t know what Karanas are, – they are the movement system according to the Natyashastra. Bharatanatyam is a much newer vocabulary.
(I follow according to Dr Padma Subramanyam’s research and lineage)
A dance film that depicts the story of Shiva and Parvati
Support @aimforseva . The film was commissioned by aim for seva.

I can’t wait to see my sweetest ….. ♥️
#kong #lifewithkong #dogmom #onmywayhome #gsd #germanshepherd #gsdlove
While dancing, I’m taken into the imagination. Enveloped.
Every performance is different. Some performances may allow me to traverse the journeys of the characters more freely, and in other performances I will have an intellectual awareness that steps out to guide my technique every now and again.
Sometimes the physicality and rhythm are like flowing rivers that need no reigning in. They need no reminders to wade through the rocks and to find moments of stillness in the pools of the lakes. However at other times, I have to push my body to find precision at the end of 2 hours.
But there is one thing that is constant…, my sincere efforts to try to be better. Without any complacency, I attempt every time to do better than the last time. And by doing this, I know that I’m raising my lowest bar…
I hope that I can always do better for my audiences who come so lovingly to share in this art of Bharatanatyam….
My performances in europe for this week start today… wish me luck!

I could have skipped my workout today. I had a performance yesterday, and I walked about 7 km after the show.
Today I taught a workshop till 1:30 pm and I walked about 4.5 km after the workshop.
But, I needed to load and recover today. Relaxing or walking around town might have been the easy way out, but I have to remember that I can last through my shows only because I train constantly. So I found a gym and trained.
I usually never take videos when I’m training, because I find it distracting. but I did today – since so many of you have been asking about my routine.
I also got in a Cold/ Hot recovery soak at the end because my coach @somyarout2806 insists on it! All done…
Hope you approve of the exercise that I made up @somyarout2806 from my dreams 🤭
Warm up.
