Every year around the monsoon, Uma Dogra invites dancers from across India to perform at her festival and they represent all forms of dance. I am told it is a tough task to select the dancers because there are so many applications and it is after a lot of deliberations that a final list is confirmed. The best thing about such a festival is the ambiance and the culture one is exposed to.
Expert dancers from different art forms make time from their busy schedule and spend time watching the new performers. It is not easy for the young performers to dance before the stalwarts but that is a challenge they have to accept. The hall is packed to the brim and dance students from all over come to watch the scintillating dances and to catch a glimpse of their gurus. The best thing about these concerts is that they begin on time and end before time.
There is detail in everything from the posters to the flower petals strewn on the stage and interestingly every day is different. Presenting two such posters….
