It was a lot of  fun and great pleasure to perform for the unveiling of Amitabh Bachan’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds. He is the first among Indian Actors to be exhibited at the Tussauds museum in Hong Kong and hopefully will start and new trend.

And I never imagined him being so tall!

Moses Chan (an award-winning actor from Hong Kong ) was the star guest of the event and seamed like a very nice  person – not afraid to try Indian Dance moves  which was cheered by the crowd of his fans.

The time has come, when I decided to have a separate (more official looking) site to showcase and promote not only my work but work of all dancers and and all performances of Cosmic Dance group.

So, I might use this blog for its original purpose and actually try blogging on a regular bases, not only posting from time to time . There are so many things I would like to write and discuss and being away from India and all my dance friends for so long makes me want to share thoughts with the world.

The new site was designed by my own very best dad all the content would not be possible without my friends and much loved students and finally the beautiful photo on the  home page was taken by a very talented photographer Michelle Garthe.

As you can see, my work is very personal to me and very close to my heart because of all the people’s help and encouragement.

Bye for now, and see you here or at  www.cosmic-dance.com

20th of May, 2010 at the Fringe Theater, HK

Produced by Oxana Banshikova, artistic director of Cosmic Dance.

Our creative adventure exploring Bharatanatyam Indian Classical dance in      its purest ancient form and popular modern fusion style.

The best choreographies by Cosmic Dance group who have been performing    for the past two years in Hong Kong.

Featuring students of Cosmic Dance and professional dancers; all sharing      passion and love for Indian Classical Dance.

Event was a once again success and hours of hard practice and sleepless nights brought our group closer together. The biggest challenge of the night was the frequent costume changes. For some up to 4 times during this show and within 5 minutes. Parts of costumes and jewelry were getting missing in the rush but everyone did a great job and everyone was dressed and ready to dance in time. That was a great experience that made us stronger.

The Journey of the Lotus

A celebration of spring exploring the inner search for happiness and enlightenment

The show is aimed to  awaken your senses with a sensual and sacred evening of Classical Indian Dance, Contemporary Dance, Live Music and Poetry by the Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore .

 “I knew not then that it was so near, that it was mine, and that this perfect sweetness had blossomed in the depth of my own heart.”-Tagore

Maggie Blue O’Hara (Canada) Co-Artistic Director of All Theatre Art Association and Oxana Banshikova (Kazakhstan) Performer/ Choreographer/ Teacher of Bharat Natyam, Classical Indian Dance fused their dance styles from the West and the East and co-created a magical night of performances inspired by the poetry of Tagore.  The dancers represent The Past, Present and The Future and the choreography weaves them together to finally complete the spiritual quest…realizing that the present moment is the gift.

Even though the main goal of this site is to promote Indian dance, Bharatnatyam in particular, I would like to mention that any type of dance form or artistic physical movement in general is of a huge interest to me. Dance is the easiest  and universal form of expression that should not have political, religious, racial and geographical borders, or even should not be the privilege  only for the people with perfect physical abilities. 

Dance can make people happy and should be available to everyone!

On this site you will find some theory and history of Bharatnatyam, my ideas and experience in dance, upcoming and recent events and photos/videos of the performances.
