Director
Priyadarsini Govind is one of the foremost Bharatanatyam dancers among the
current generation. Trained by two stalwarts, Kalaimamani S.K. Rajarathnam Pillai
and Padma Bhushan Smt. Kalanidhi Narayanan, Priyadarsini has imbibed this art form
from the best. With her natural aptitude for abhinaya coupled with her passion and
dedication to her art, Priyadarsini has become a flag bearer of Smt. Kalanidhi’s
padam repertoire. Priyadarsini’s nritta or pure dance is intense and vigorous.
A dancer known for her adherence to tradition, Priyadarsini manages to seamlessly
blend new choreography with the traditional, thereby gently redefining the
boundaries of Bharatnatyam repertoire. Priyadarsini has been performing in
prestigious venues all over India and the globe. Priyadarsini Govind is
actively engaged in performing, creating new repertoires for dance and teach.
