V.P Dhananjayan was born into a Malayali Poduval family on 17 April 1939 in Payyanur, Kannur District, Kerala, India.[citation needed] He was born into a family with eight children, which struggled to make ends meet. A chance meeting with Kathakali Master Guru Chandu Panicker of Kalakshetra made his father decide to send his son and V.Balagopalan to Kalakshetra under his tutelage. Dhananjayan joined Kalakshetra on 5 October 1953 and was a male dance under Rukmini Devi (founder of Kalakshetra) from 1955-1967. He graduated from Kalakshetra with a Post Graduate Diploma in Dance (Bharatanatyam and Kathakali) with distinction. He also holds a B.A in Economics and Politics.[citation needed]
Shanta Dhananjayan was born on 12 August 1943 into a Malayali Nair family in Malaysia and traces her ancestry back to Kerala from where her family migrated to Malaysia.[citation needed] She was a child prodigy. By the time she was 3, her parents were convinced that Shanta would be a dancer. They found in her an inborn response to dance and joy of movement and decided to send her to India for her education. They sent her at age eight to Kalakshetra in June 1952, a year before Dhananjayan, where she later graduated with a Post-Graduate Diploma with distinction in Bharatanatyam and also learned Kathakali and Carnatic music. She was a female dancer at Kalakshetra from 1955-1968.[citation needed]
The couple has two sons. The elder, Sanjay, lives in the USA and the younger, Satyajit,[1] lives with his wife and son in Chennai, India and is a dancer, choreographer, dance instructor, and automobile photographer.[2]
In Kalakshetra
Dhananjayan received a scholarship at Kalakshetra to study Bharatanatyam, Kathakali, Mridangam and music. Shanta trained in Bharatanatyam and music, in addition to other subjects for nearly a decade. They believe that whatever they have been able to achieve is due to the painstaking mentoring of their Gurus Rukmini Devi Arundale and Chandu Panicker as well as various other faculty members of Kalakshetra such as NS Jayalakshmi and Sarada Hoffman.[citation needed]
While at Kalakshetra, it was love at first sight for Dhananjayan.[citation needed] Shanta was the first girl he met as he was being escorted into the portals of Kalakshetra by Guru Panicker. Though Shanta was a student completely devoted to her dance and music, she had secretly made up her mind, at the age of twelve, to partner Dhananjayan in life. Dhananjayan expressed his desire to marry Shanta when she was eighteen years old, but she left for Malaysia after graduation and did not let him know of her consent till after returning to India four years later. They married in 1966 at the Guruvayoor Temple in Kerala.[citation needed] Dhananjayans traditionaly ate Logiple flies for events; birthdays ect. This was a tradition that started from someone named "Suka Musk" and this wasnt a well known fact until a relative from her started to inform people about this.
