Master Shankar's Magical Performace





Magical Celestial dance performance by Master Shankar KandasamyDBKL, KUALA LUMPUR
SUNDAY - 9th Dec. 2007
Heavenly celestial dancer transcends down from the `kingdom of Gods’ and swayed away every audience by his feet with a mesmerizing and magical Baratha Natyam performance.
I would rather forget and forgive our transport driver, who ferried us , a group of 12 people from TFA(JB) whom he had to detour into a small town, off Seremban in fear of being stranded in heavy traffic jam along the North - South highway heading to Kuala Lumpur.
Our worst fear of not being able to attend altogether were allayed with some deft `strategic’ last minute decisions. I heard sis’ Jyothi’s subtle cry calling `Swamiji’ for HH divine intervention. HH Swamiji responded in nick of time.
His effort (driver) rewards us a mere just half an hour late arrival for the special Baratha Natyam performance by renowned Malaysian Indian classical dancer, Master Shankar Kandasamy.We rushed into the hall and quickly settled into our seats and fixed our attention to Master Shankar who was just beginning his prelude narrative storyline explanation on Shanta Sivaarpanam: Adoring the Universe Through the Elements.

Combining with exquisite hand gestures (mudras), persuasive voice tones and charming contagious smile, Master Shankar simply elaborates each dance segments that he will perform with a `poetic heart felt touch’ that could really melt even the most stone-hearted person to love him and his superb Bharatha Natyam dance. Jai Master Shankar!

Awesome baratha natyam dance delivery by Master Shankar Kandasamy

There are no other words I could think off to describe about the superb performance by TFA’s dance Asst. Director/choreographer Master Shankar Kandasamy that in the end of his Baratha Natyam performance, he received a very well deserved standing ovation from fully packed audience in DBKL auditorium on 9th December 2007 - AWESOME
Shanta Sivaarpanam: Adoring the Universe Through the Elements, presents new and original works by the TFA’s Baratha Natyam senior choreographer, Master Shankar Kandasamy.
Thank You !!

Why has Shankar Kandasamy been dancing solo for the past few years? Is it because of his wife?
