lineage to the great Balasaraswathi
is dancing at Krishna Gana Sabha, T. Nagar on Dec.21, 7.30 pm.
And if you are a dance connosieur, keen to watch dance of
a time gone by this is the recital to be at.
Aniruddha says that he will present the traditional
margam the way Bala did in her time and a style which is rarely see today in
south India.
The teermanams, he says are of Bala's guru Kandappa
Pillai, so go back to over 100 years.

"I don't try to mimic or copy Bala's dance. "
says Aniruddha. "The vintage music itself guides a dancer and I bring my
aesthetics to it."
