Welcome to the June monthly newsletter!
This month my writings will be brief. I have been travelling for most of May and have not seen many performances. Personal time has been uppermost on my calendar. May has always been a quiet month. The weather is blazing hot in most cities and academics take an annual break. I remember being in the mountains in Kodaikanal for summer vacations with my cousins and far away from dance classes, studies and examinations. It was a time to enjoy family, friendships and reset energies for the rest of the year.For India based dancers, May is when many head to the west seeking opportunities in teaching, sharing and performances. Having just returned from the USA, I have seen Northern California already buzzing with musicians and dancers who have made their annual "Pilgrimage" to the Bay Area Bank of Mylapore! KA Ching! KA Ching! The sound of dollars is flowing in and the eager students are willing to part with significant sums of money to "enrich" themselves - for one weekend - through short intensives in technique through item learning.
