 : Several of my teachers are from Kalakshetra. they were students there and some still teach there. I owe a lot to them. Not only did they teach me dance, they taught me discipline that helps me in my life.

: Further, they came from very modest backgrounds but still were definitely not pursuing art for money and I never felt that they were greedy..

: There is one point i wish to make... All dancers, regardless of style, whether they change a repetoire or not - make people happy through their art. So I think we should all respect that.

: AFter that the proof of the pudding is in the eating... if the original masterpieces were popular, if that genre of music is popuplar, people who have that high refined taste, will be drawn to it...
:
: I know several of my friends and family find the current Kalakshetra work itself too elite and uncomprehensible.... All dancers have a place on the map. Like in Spirituality, let us all find out own path.
