“Fire power and ebullience, athleticism and rhythmic prowess”The Hindu, Delhi
Rama Vaidyanathan is one of the leading interpreters of Bharata Natyam, the great classical dance form of southern India characterized by complex footwork, abstract movements, and elaborate mime. A disciple of the legendary Yamini Krishnamurty and Saroja Vaidyanathan, Rama has evolved her own distinctive style that is deeply rooted in tradition. She is one of the most sought after dancers of her generation, noted for her exquisite performances over the past 20 years. Rama Vaidyanathan will be accompanied by a live ensemble.
