Bharatanatyam by Smt. Lakshmi Viswanathan | Itu Sahasamulu and Nitthirayil Sopanam

Lakshmi Vishwanathan is a leading exponent of Bharatanatyam, the classical dance of South India. She has been described as a "poetic dancer", and a "dancer’s dancer". Born in 1944, her performance career spanning fifty years has been a rare cultural phenomenon because Lakshmi combines in her art the spirit of the renaissance of Indian dance, the essence of which is a combination of tradition and innovation. An artiste who never dilutes classicism, Lakshmi is a creative dancer who represents the essence of the Tanjavur tradition of Bharatanatyam noted for its grace, excellent technique, lyricism and expressive Abhinaya. She has mastered a vast traditional repertoire, and added to it, her own compositions and choreography. She has also researched and directed several dance-theatre productions with new and un-explored themes.
