The northern form Kathak depends more than any other on live interplay with music, and yet on Thursday, the brilliant virtuosity and bewitching charm of Barkha Patel helped us forget that tape must be second best. Likewise, the Bharatanatyam stylist Dakshina Vaidyanathan enchanted on Friday.
Both are women of striking facial beauty, but what made this lovelier was the artistry with which they used their faces. Eyes, lips, cheeks, eyebrows, jaw all played their part; others present joined me in wishing that half of New York’s ballet dancers would study with them.

Whatever you bring to her performances, Dakshina Vaidyanathan is sure to make you forget. The Bharatanatyam master has a gentle command of her space that eases you in preparation to feel fully. Her inhales draw you closer from your seat. Her gaze radiates upon the environment in an evenhanded appreciation of ubiquitous beauty, but if you’re lucky enough to make eye contact, the intensity of her stare is enough to mistake her performance being for you alone. Dance of Nature could never be that exclusive. Vaidyanathan is an open channel extolling all. Trees begin the journey. Vaidyanathan stands in a spotlight, rooted as a trunk.
