Indian Fusion Dance by Colleena Shakti at a Royal Wedding at Lucknow Safed Baradari
COLLEENA SHAKTI PERFORMS for a royal wedding at Lucknow, India.
Stylistically speaking, Indian Fusion movement vocabulary is inspired by dances of India & the Middle East (including its modern evolutions). Colleena's dance bridges modern and folkloric Oriental vocabulary with extensive postures and spins of North Indian classical and folk dance, intricacies of eyes, hands and facial expression from Eastern Indian classical dance and draws in elements of Central Asian dances as well. She is known through out India and the world for her unique fusion that blends her extensive training in Odissi with all the other dance forms she has immersed in. Accompanying her on drum is her husband, Matthew De Santis.
She describes this special night in a recent post:
"All my favorite aesthetics merged that night - the extravagance & grandeur of the Indian Nawabi style architecture surrounding us… the drama & elegance of deep soulful orchestral sounds of Egypt’s golden era music… A dash of Rajasthani (for our royal Rajput crowd)… then smooth it all over with classical Indian dance touches (restraint and detail in the hands and eyes). Live Darbuka drumming was provided by my beloved husband celebrating the earthy vibration and heavy hips of the ‘Oriental’ dance layers. Persian dance motifs, spins & shapes merged with the North Indian aesthetic, but not for the first time… Lucknow boasts one of the great fusion dance history’s of all times….
Court dancers of Awadh (Lucknow) were extensively trained tawaifs (courtesans) who fused Persian influences with Indian forms developing the classical dance form - Kathak under patronage of the last Nawab - Wajid Ali Shaw; dance, music & poetry reached extraordinary heights. Thousands upon thousands of dancers passed through his Pari Khana (‘house of fairies’) where the dancers of the court lived & trained.
It is a sensitive thing for me to present a fusion in front of royals & elite art lovers… in India - land of the highest dance forms that extend to us from ancient histories. I feel an enormous responsibility to that level of refinement, and to THE DANCERS WHO DANCED IN THIS PALACE BEFORE ME.
Safed Baradari (a white, twelve-door pavilion built by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah in the 1850’s) was the venue… many of the women present whispered the dance hall had not been brought to life with dance like this since those bygone glory days of all night mehfils with dance, music and poetry unfolding well past sunrise."

U really so great
Great
Gorgeous, Colleena! You truly are an example of how to live ❤😊
Our school contribute a lot for children to opt for traditional profession like doctor engineer....they often present creative field as side kick, as recreational activity.... They just feel the kinds mind with all these nonsensical stuff that what he/she shud be doing. Basically Our school system is fucked up.
What the kalbeliyas get out of UNESCO recognition is all the kalbelia dance community from around the world.... Recognition is very important and they achieved it but the economic situation might have changed much that is bcz international community who hv learnt from them and learn free of cost and they are opening their studios in European and other parts of the world giving back almost nothing to the kalbelia..... All the Indian international communitt should work toward that at least basic necessities must be taken care of.
Awesome ❤❤❤❤❤
Three of them❤🙏🌺sujata ji is ❤🎉for like, ,,no words ,i m speechless
I wish the video Quality was better.
It was so beautiful and sad... I repeatedly come back to this video to drink full the pensiveness and grace of this dance
VERY NICE DANCE OF COLEENA
The dancers very beautiful and lovely also but you skipped the main part of the dance that was Bhumi pranam.
Most graceful dance of sub continant
Beautiful to watch other cultures and those girls dance super ❤
But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing .
Can i contact uh asap for an odissi related thing .
Osadhoron 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Heavenly
वाह वाह वाह।दिल छू लिया। क्या आवाज है।
As a marwari I’ll forever hold a huge amount of love and tenderness for this state no matter where I live. Whenever I hear our language…it just leaves me heavy hearted and teary eyed.
Same, never lived in Rajasthan, visited though. Often think of going to my ancestral village and find more about my heritage, lineage.
