A deep dive into the origins of Bharatnatyam with dancer and founder of Keelaka Dance Academy, Aneesha Grover -- who, just for the record, was very much part of the girl gang that learned the invaluable lesson - don't run into glass! - on that fateful night in London many moons ago. This episode is all things classical dance in India - from its origins as propagated by the isai vellalar community (cough blame the british) to attempts to reimagine the dance form in today's contemporary context. We explore the feminist undertones in Indian classical texts which form the subject matter for Keelaka's productions.
