Leela Samson, Bharatanatyam maestro performs Javali
India's Bharatanatyam maestro, Leela Samson performs Javali.
Leela Samson is among India's most dynamic and technically brilliant dancers, an outstanding representative of Kalakshetra, the famed institute for the classical arts founded by the late Rukmini Devi Arundale on the Chennai ocean front. Leela joined Kalakshetra as a young child and her formative years were spent in imbibing the nuances of Bharata Natyam and related arts at the feet of celebrated gurus. Over years of independent work, her dance has metamorphosed from the best of her alma mater into an exquisite personal expression.
Leela's performances are popular all over India and many countries of Europe, Africa and the Americas. Her personal style is unostentatious, serene and characterized by an impeccable technique that blends geometrical precision with vibrancy and an unfettered ease. Her rhythmic acumen is apparent in dance compositions containing varied and challenging percussion patterns.
Leela has choreographed a number of group and solo compositions in Bharata Natyam. One of her major choreographic productions, Spanda, was performed to high critical and audience acclaim and hailed as a seminal work. She has trained many accomplised students who are now teachers in their own right. She has authored several articles as well as the book, Rhythm in Joy.
Among the many honours conferred on her, Leela Samson was awarded the prestigious Padmashri by the President of India in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the art of Bharata Natyam as well as the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award instituted by the apex cultural body of the Government of India.
She is at present (as on 2008) is the Director of Kalakshetra, Chennai, founded by Rukmini Devi Arundale and also the Chairman of Sangeet Natak Akademi.

I have heard that Rukmini devi herself learned bharatanatyam at the age of 29, but admission at kalakshetra is given upto only 25 yrs...I feel like it should be open to anyone who loves to learn the bani..

Same here buddy although I'm odissi learner
The music is amazing, so is Leela's dance.
Wonderful performance. Every pose of the dancer is picture perfect and enchanting.
Leela is just not only a Great Dancer but a Wonderful human being too!! I have had met her a couple of times when I was associated with SPIC-MACAY as a National Finance Coordinator and Events Manager. Have been blessed with the opportunity to organise her programmes in many schools and colleges in Delhi and Patna. I personally have been to her home in Asiad Village adjacent to Shahpur Jat in New Delhi. It's just so soulful and mesmerizing to watch her Dance!! There can't be any word to express the feelings.
She is absolutely beautiful and so is her expression
Leela Samson is an exponent of all branches of Bharatanatyam. Danceus to the core.
I love you Leela. Thank you for everything you gave 😍🥰😍
Exquisite performance Leela ji
Splendid
Gem of the Indian culture.
How can someone dislike this??!
Pure joy to watch Ms Samson dance Bharatnatyam. Pure talent!!
Please upload the accompanying artists and which year vediographed
You could at least say something about the dance piece, like its title, and summary of meaning etc. The camera work is good, but bad synchronization.
Who is Samson.
