    Leela Samson's Varnam is astonishing. She was trained at Kalakshetra by no less Two Sharadas and Athai (Rukmini Devi). Her Varnams are archival value for coming generations. Hats off to Leela mam.

    When I see some of the younger generation, their performance looks like gym exercise. It is not dance, they are not telling the story and they have no contact with audience with their emotionless faces. It is just sad to watch them. Leela Samson on the other hand is a classical dancer and these videos are a joy to watch.

    This is fhe dance form from the great institution Kalakshetra. She has been trained under the great Snt Rukmini Devi. We though have seen many such fine performers from Kalakshetra. She is one of them.

    • @burningflame3649
      @burningflame3649 8 років тому +1

      I'm not sure what you mean? The whole song is one piece called "Manavi chekona." it's a popular varnam for Bharatanatyam composed by the Tanjore Quartet.

      +pulavan k My pleasure.
      I'm not sure if you listen to much Bharatanatyam music, but I think I know what misled you. Most dance varnams can be roughly divided into two halves. In the second half, beginning with the charanam, the tempo suddenly increases so the dancer finishes with a bright, exciting taalam. Here the charanam begins with the line "Pan ta mela ra nato," ('Don't show this anger towards me.').
