On February 3, 2007 at <a href="http://www.exploris.org">Explor<i>i</i>s Museum</a> in downtown Raleigh, NC, my friend <a href="http://www.narthaki.com/info/reviews/rev402.html">Supriya Desai</a>'s students gave an approximately half hour performance of classical Indian <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bharatanatyam">Bharatanatyam Dance</a>. It was part of <a href="http://www.exploris.org/explore/?expview=news&action=details&nid=81">India Day</a> at the museum, with the key event being the dedication of a life-sized statue of Mahatma Gandhi (you can see <a href="http://dilipb.smugmug.com/gallery/2430571">my pictures and video</a>). (For now, I just have the short videos. I hope to have edited pictures soon; if not, I'll simply add the unedited ones.) http://dilipb.smugmug.com/Visual-Arts-and-Dance/Dance/20070203-Bharatanatyam-Dance/A-trio-dancing/127397161_EtaMe-Ti.jpg http://dilipb.smugmug.com/gallery/2429852_ZKaQ4/ 2007-02-03T12:56:01Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
