Dance ‘resightal’
Two high school students raised over $8,000 through a dance recital for a foundation providing sight-restoring surgeries in India.
Los Gatos resident Dhiya Padmanabhan and San Jose resident Anithra Shradha Narayanan, both high school students, recently danced in a Bharatanatyam recital called “IroLi – Twin Radiance.” Bharatanatyam is the oldest form of Indian classical dance, according to the Kennedy Center. It combines facial expressions, hand gestures and footwork.
The recital took place at Shri Krupa Dance Company in Saratoga. The students were guided by their teacher, Shrimati Vishal Ramani. Shrimati is a traditional Indian honorific to address and refer to married women. Their performance also featured live musicians from India.
All the proceeds from the show will be used to fund over 250 sight-restoring surgeries for underserved people in India through the Sankara Eye Foundation.
