Pallavi Dance Center to open BCMF15
Pallavi Dance Center is a reputed dance school of the country, under the leadership and training of noted dancer-choreographer Minu Haque. The troupe will be the first performers of this year's Bengal Classical Music Festival 2015 (BCMF15), presenting Bharatanatyam. The veteran artiste spoke to The Daily Star about their preparation and excitement:
“We feel extremely fortunate that our performance will open this year's edition of BCMF15. At the same time, we are anxious to give our best, and rehearsals have been going on non-stop for a month and a half.
“We have 23 performers, some of them are even coming from outside Dhaka to practice, and all of them are incredibly motivated. Through our performance, I want to show the large audience in Dhaka that the practice of Bharatanatyam is well and alive, and we have very talented dancers. There aren't many platforms to showcase the art, and this is the biggest of them all, so I'm looking forward eagerly so that we can make ourselves proud, and at the same time promote the practice of classical dance. Although it is strictly a Bharatanatyam production, we are calling it 'Desh', and you will find elements of Bangladesh in it."
“Our sincere thanks go to Bengal Foundation for the honour. Their initiative to nurture classical music and dance is truly remarkable, and we are thrilled to have got the opportunity.”
