Dear Jayanthi,
I am a friend of Bhagirathi and came with her for your dance at Brahma Gana Sabha. It was spectacular. It had me pinned to my chair and I was enthralled by the performance of your group. Excellent footwork, and the story unfolding was executed to perfection. The dancers are to be commended on their performance, the music was the best and then your choreography was faultless. Wishing you a Happy and successful New year
