Dhananjayans in Australia
Natyanjali Australia are very proud to announce the tour of Dhananjayans in Australia in October 2009.
The famous dance duo, winners of the prestigious Padma Bhushan award for the year 2009, need no introductions to Indian Classical dance enthusiasts.
The Dhananjayans (V.P. & Shanta Dhananjayan) have journeyed through six decades long experience forging a path for a galaxy of dancers and musicians in their wake. Bharatakalanjali founded by them in 1968 is a trend-setting institution that stands testament to their creative genius, contributing a new dimension to the tradition of Bharatanaatyam, inspiring a new generation of artists to be proud professionals of this performing art.
Through their national and international collaborations, they raised the profile of the art and ushered in new waves of global evaluation of a tradition previously confined to a religion and region. The couple has produced, composed, and performed countless solos, duos and theatrical productions that have spanned art festivals and prestigious venues across the globe. The Dhananjyans have won numerous awards and accolades for their exemplary caliber as performers, choreographers, teachers, and composers of music.
The Dhananjayans presented Bhakti Maargam, featuring the dancers of Bharata Kalanjali at the Everest Theatre, Sydney on 24 October 2009.
