sounds like something you’ll enjoy.
btw did this gauri sharma not have tripathy as her last name? kathak and first name gauri and based in london – cant be too many such folks, so am thinking it might be the same person. if yes, she is awesome. had seen her perform once at somerset house.
Yes, sounds familiar. And they do have a resident Kathak dancer at Southbank. Am not planning to go for this, but realise that some people do use my blog for concert announcements so put it here!
Sounds wonderful. How I wish I could be there!
