Acknowledged as celestial nymphs by the art connoisseurs – Nalini and Kamalini – were recently invited by Prof. Sandeep Marwah for a lecture cum demonstrationof the traditional form Kathak. The versatile dancing duo are the disciples of well known Kathak Maestro and the trend setter of temple style of Kathak dancing, guru Jitendra Maharaj of Varanasi gharana. Well versed in allied arts of music and literature the sisters literally mesmerised the students of Asian Academy of Film & TV by their rare artistic qualities of natural expression, grace, sweetness, clarity, perfection, refined sensibilities and subtlety. Their deep and pure emotiveness, artistry of immaculate footwork, a complete understanding of Kathak dance form and strong stage presence kept the audience spell bound throughout the presentation. Nalini and Kamalini have done India proud by giving scintillating performance of this traditional form in a number of European countries, UK and USA. Later addressing the gathering Nalini said that it is the enlightened alone who can be entertained by true work of art and called upon the students to make an in-depth study of the art form of their choice.
