- Leela Samson performs Tillana, the concluding piece in a Bharatanatyam.
Leela Samson is among India's most dynamic and technically brilliant dancers, an outstanding representative of Kalakshetra, the famed institute for the classical arts founded by the late Rukmini Devi Arundale on the Chennai ocean front. Leela joined Kalakshetra as a young child and her formative years were spent in imbibing the nuances of Bharata Natyam and related arts at the feet of celebrated gurus. Over years of independent work, her dance has metamorphosed from the best of her alma mater into an exquisite personal expression.
Leela's performances are popular all over India and many countries of Europe, Africa and the Americas. Her personal style is unostentatious, serene and characterized by an impeccable technique that blends geometrical precision with vibrancy and an unfettered ease. Her rhythmic acumen is apparent in dance compositions containing varied and challenging percussion patterns.
Leela has choreographed a number of group and solo compositions in Bharata Natyam. One of her major choreographic productions, Spanda, was performed to high critical and audience acclaim and hailed as a seminal work. She has trained many accomplised students who are now teachers in their own right. She has authored several articles as well as the book, Rhythm in Joy.
Among the many honours conferred on her, Leela Samson was awarded the prestigious Padmashri by the President of India in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the art of Bharata Natyam as well as the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award instituted by the apex cultural body of the Government of India.
She is at present (as on 2008) is the Director of Kalakshetra, Chennai, founded by Rukmini Devi Arundale and also the Chairman of Sangeet Natak Akademi.

As graceful as a gazelle, apart from her sheer expertise in the dance form! Purest visual joy!
Yess !! What a blessing to watch her
one of the traditional thilana, paras ragam composed by poochi sirinivasa aiyankar....
believe composed for the ramanathapuram samastham in praising raja rajeshwari meant to be the goddess for royal dynasty of ramanathapuram
a superb performance.......she makes it appear simple but it is NOT.
technically sound ....outstanding involvement

Technically and physically stunning performance.
Not only was she stunningly beautiful but also a perfect dancer. Divine performance!
But she is a Hindu hater .
@@deepakarya3670 my god I did not not know that.
We teach all types dance
Deepak Arya actually she is not she loves Hindus and hinduism
I think you should re-read what you saw
“By virtue of being a dancer, I am a Hindu in philosophy. Even my family has acknowledged that. It does not matter what people have to say about me,” said former Censor Board chairperson Leela Samson, in what was seen as a veiled reply to critics questioning her 'religious biases'.

Leela and Bharatanatyam are made for each other!
Then why is she hell bent on destroying it??
Watching this in 2021 ❤️❤️❤️love her 😘😘😘
Exquisite performance! I come back to this over and over. I appreciate the upload but If only they could reupload with the music synced, it would be awesome! Really this piece deserves it!
I love that foot sound 😊
Not a single Dislike. What a phenomenal performance!
Thrilled to see a traditional thillana starting from the eye movement.Thanks
Love seeing Leela akka perform!!
Simply beautiful!
This is the pride of the indian culture
The Best dancer in india . Leela maam .pranam
I am also a professional bharatnatyam dancer....
Awesome ,,,, it's very difficult... I also performed it...
I am a kid
I respect it but wasn’t hard for me
Marvelous!
Why, oh why is the dubbing so much out of synchrone? A marvellous performance and a charismatic dancer, but it hurts to watch this video because of bad timing of music :(.
Eszter Somogyi
Very true...
Exactly. I tried to sync the two in my head.

Such a beautiful performance by Leela akka! The music and video however are not in sync!
You may well be right about the sync issue but this is an old edit so we can't really change things around in it!

Hi WildFilms India. Thank you so much for the great service you are doing by making these available. I thoroughly enjoy anything shared by your channel, the authenticity and quality is guaranteed. But please try to sync the audio and video. The beauty of the movements synchronizing to the beat is critical to dance. Can you not delay the audio by a few seconds after ripping the the audio from the video using editing software? Please do this for some of the other great videos you have uploaded too. Again, it is a valuable thing you have done by making these available! Please keep it up
@@WildFilmsIndia You can change it. Simply separate out the audio and video using any editor, and resync it. There might be some patching to do.
Have u seen even she starts any step early but it ends in perfect time
Song timings is mistake. Please edit the timing
Sheer perfection !
Clearly she glorifies dance🌹
Good
What style of Bharatnatyam is this, Melattur, Pandanallur, Vazhuvoor, Kalakshetra-Melattur Style, Pandanallur, Vazhuvoor, or the Kalakshetra style?
most probably kalakshetra
Kalakshetra style because she happened to have trained from there and then follow the same style till date
Can someone please tell me which Thillana is this?
Paras thillana
I have her eyes.
Congratulations ???
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏💐
❤
Super performance. Bt the time sychronisation of mrudangam and ottanam does not support the foot works. May be they could not practice with the artist.
Unnikrishnan kodothody team has very good synchronisation it’s the problem with upload . It’s beacause no sync between audio and video
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Paras thillana?
Yes!
it is based on which ragam?
Rajveer Rana paras
Saw her on an aeroplane. Got some eyes because of this.
You comment makes zero sense
May i know what thillana is this in?
Keshav Prasath paras thillana
I think you mean raga
Kalakshetra style is so soft? I thought BharataNatyam is meant to be so sharp, slicing, strong!
I believe the video and music are not in sync.
Priyanka Gandhi's teacher, never seen the student dance 😁
Hahahahah!
Lol lol lol😁😀😁
Student taught teacher to be Hindu hater and removed all Hindu worship in academy
Very out of sync. Any way of fixing this?
Ohh...what's going on .....lip synching...and she's not following the thalam
She makes it look easy, but it isn't.
Her neck movement s are not great
Singing and dancing is not going in track
worest perforamcne . wast of time.
So soulless
She is Christian and Jesus will send her to hell for following hindu culture
May i know what thillana is this in?
Do you mean to ask what Raagam this Thillana is in? It's in Raag Parashu, Thalam - Adi
thank you so much (:
