The journey to being a Bharathnayam dancer has come with it’s fair share of challenges. It’s not easy to master the aesthetics and skills of Bharatnatyam , but I keep trying constantly to get better. “Thodi Himmat” goes a long way, but also leaves me sore. The new Iodex Rapid Action Spray reduces internal swelling and provides targeted relief from aches and pains.

Resharing a short video that I created during Navaratri to celebrate the tradition of wearing a bindi…. In collaboration with @cycle.in_official
This is one of my favourite verses on Devi and I’ve been dancing to it, listening to it since I was a child.
Hope you enjoy my interpretation 😊

“Expectations”
The full version is on Raadha Kalpa’s YouTube channel
https://youtu.be/wKkrKxSawvA
The dance film is centred around the idea of how our lives are twofold in the modern world. The lives we lead and the lives we project to the external world through social media, digital platforms, photographs and emojis. There is an expectation that one must always show what is beautiful and perfect to the people that surround us. Perception takes priority over honesty to a point where life itself may no longer be truthful.
Choreography, Concept & Performance: Rukmini Vijayakumar

At which point does the driving force to be better , to do better, take away the joy of dancing?
The joy is never lost if we constantly live in the present moment of dance … Only if we no longer LIVE in the dance, but in the OUTCOME of the practice….All is lost …

The strange thing about being an artist is that I’m never alone, because dance is always with me – in my thoughts and my body – waiting to manifest.
I’m dancing even when I’m running , practising yoga, sitting in the car, walking…. Anytime I have no external disturbances it’s as though dance pulls me into it’s embrace…
Waiting patiently for moments of quiet…

Yahi Madhava, one of my most favourite ashtapadis where Radha tells krishna to leave while also saying “please don’t go” at the same time.
Krishna returns after a night with another woman and in this excerpt Radha says, “please don’t speak words of deceit. Go be with that woman with the beautiful eyes, she will assuage your pain. Or go to the other one with the long hair, she will take care of you. Why have you come here to me? I cannot bear the torment of your lies any longer”

It’s been a while since I danced randomly to music…. No agenda … no choreography… no performance … no rehearsals
I’ve been working with two small injuries the past few months and I’ve been reluctant to dance full out for no reason, saving my body for dance assignments…
Im feeling so much better now … and I have nothing to choreograph for the next one week atleast …. So I’m going to enjoy my freedom 😁😁😁
Don’t comment on rhythm etc…. I’m randomly dancing 😆
Happy Diwali everyone!!!
(Just videotaped myself today since I’m dressed decently for a puja. I’m usually wearing very grubby clothes and dancing)

“The red lac smeared on your chest makes it looks as though a new love has sprouted in your heart, as cupid’s arrows pierce through …. Is this true? ” Radha asks Krishna, heartbroken at the signs she sees, hoping that Krishna denies blatantly what she believes to be true.
