Arasi - Here is a very contemporary version of this composition very delightfully choreographed by the teachers in TFA - so wonderful to see this Indian dance form thriving in Malaysia....arasi on 2006-11-02 09:39 wrote:MadurA nagarilO is by chittUr subramanya piLLai, according to our Lakshman. used to be a favorite dance item in those days...

The young dancer has done full justice to the chorepgraphy, and her abhinaya is really a treat - kaccidamAna (just right). The teasing, the intoxication of the music, the promise to come to the river-bank at night, and the final kiss as the bounty to 'get out of jail' - great!
