We R Dancing

Aalokam marks the coming together of two talented Bharatnatyam dancers, Bharathi Penneswaran and Jyotsna Kalyansundar. Trained in the Kalakshetra style, both bring together more than 20 years of experience each in training, performing and teaching Bharatnatyam in India and in USA. The idea behind Aalokam is to showcase the elegance and beauty of this classical Indian dance form through innovative set pieces. Combining rhythm, hand gestures and facial expressions, these dance pieces convey exotic tales from Indian mythology and folklore.

For May 7th Tickets Please press the link here https://www.symphonyspace.org/events/vp-we-are-dancing-indian-classical-dance-festivalOn May 15th at Dixon Place, we present a new productions by Aalokam Dance Company’s founder and choreographer, Bharathi Penneswaran called “Aval(she/her) – Unabashedly Herself”. Aval(she/her) is a three-part narrative that draws on epics and mythology to relate untold stories and complex characterization rarely ever attributed to the three protagonists presented in Aval – Ahalya, Draupadi and Kalika. It’s an attempt to showcase a range of human emotions, like revenge, lust and desire and arrogance, that contradict the stereotypical portrayal of these women as chaste and proper.
