Dear natya rasikas..
Here I got very sensitive issue to share and desperately need solution. I m a bharatanatyam dancer who is working at the same time. Because of my job I travelled so many places around my country. So basically I learned under so many teachers from vazhoovor to kalashetra bani. What I want to share here is most teachers not even know what bharatanatyam all about. Just because bharatanatyam don't have any standards syllabus they take this weakness as an advantage for them to declare themselves as "guru". Some not even know the tala and raaga. I m not trying to be smart here. But if this continues our Bharatanatyam 'll lose the purity and beauty. Plz safe dis art form.
