Hindusthani Thillana

Remember the one time I was part of a big group performance at a temple. This still is an awesome choreography - not sure whether Chandrika Kurup aunty and / or Lakshmi Kurup did it.

I also taught this to two other ladies and we performed at Oracle, OHA 2010, I think.

There is a faster version of the song, and a Bharathnatyam performance to it, in the movie Swathi Thirunal. I personally feel this Thillana is more suited for Mohinitniyattam.

Don't remember this piece very well - learnt it from Mrs. Chandrakala Jagannathan nearly 30 yrs ago. A very traditional choreography, danced like how a 60 yr old ex danseuse would. Moral of this post - learn the dance well, practice through the week and then make a video at the end of the week.
