Bharatanatyam | Rukmini Vijaykumar | Lincoln Center, New York | ParikhParivarFdn | Part 3

Bharatanatyam | Rukmini Vijaykumar | Lincoln Center, New York | ParikhParivarFdn | Part 3 The dance performance by talented Bharatanatyam artist and a famous choreographer, Rukmini Vijaykumar, needs a special mention. Her solo performance demonstrating the awe-inspiring flexibility, raw emotion, and unwavering physical strength of the human body received a great response from the audience. The classical dance form Bharatanatyam is a beautiful art form that combines emotions, melody, rhythm, and storytelling. Rukmini Vijaykumar begins her performance with 'Pushpanjali’, an offering to Lord Ganesh and Goddess Saraswati. In her next performance, she presents a traditional invocatory item in the Bharatanatyam classical dance repertoire. It is a vibrant, rhythmic composition performed in praise of Lord Shiva, specifically in his form as Nataraja, the cosmic lord of dance. Rukmini presents her interpretation of the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva and connects it to our everyday lives. #bharatanatyam #bharatanatyamdance #bharatanatyamdancer #parkinsonsdisease #dhrupadforparkinson's #parikhparivarfoundation
