This year we’re delighted to be welcoming a brand new faculty member to the school, Alarmel Valli joins as Bharatanatyam Intermediate tutor.

Alarmel Valli is a leading Bharatanatyam dancer and choreographer, acclaimed internationally for her ability to turn traditional grammar into subtle, deeply internalized, personal dance poetry. Her dance has been described as “uncompromisingly classical, but, at the same time, an undeniable language of self-expression”. A few of the highlights of Valli’s career on the international scene would include her performances at The Bolshoi Theatre,  Theatre De La Ville, Vienna International Dance Festival, Munich Opera Festival, The Edinburgh Festival and the New York International Festival of Arts.

The following clip is the official trailer for a documentary made about her called Lasya Kavya

Here’s a clip of her performing with fellow Dance India tutor Madhavi Mudgal –
