This amazing couple share not only their love for each other(for the past 43 years!) but the love for dance, or shall I say NATYA. They are the phenomenal husband & wife team who practise bharathanatyam in Kalakshetra discipline, one of the highest and stringent form.
They graced Malaysia with a 2-day show held in Kelana Jaya & KL. However, they conducted a dance demo at Persatuan Sri Ramakrishna Sarada, PJ on November 5, 2009, a day before their show.
It was great to see these instruments of Natya enlighten us with their concepts of Bharathanatyam. Master V. P. spoke about Natya evolution without tainting the classical form of the art. He potrayed the difference with such intricacy together with his disciples to show us that change does not mean modern but classical with a difference.
Just being in the presence of these masters of the art and being presented with first hand teachings and dance advise, elated everyone present, teachers and students alike. Among the attendees there were many Bharathanatyam gurus present namely Madam Indira Manikam, Master Ramli Ibrahim, Madam Radha Gopal Shetty and others.
I am utmost grateful to be given an opportunity to be in the midst of such greatness.
