How difficult is it to learn Dance? If you go by the popularity of arangetram focused learning of dance then there it should be a breeze, but if you go by what the puritans do or at least attempt to do, then it is a herculean task requiring tremendous patience, huge amount of hard work, perseverance, sometimes absolute thick skin to take in the insults and the taunts of the contemporary and the established people of your order, besides loads of money as dance teachers dont come cheap these days. Is it worth the effort? well ask those who have done it and who are doing it the serous way. I have the fortune of knowing a few and know how difficult and nerve racking it is to be a Bhrathanatyam artist in an increasingly crassly commercial world where an arangetram could put you behind a few lakhs and leave you with even lesser friends!

The visiting alumni is a Vidhushi and her name is Vidhushi
