Bharathanatyam Arangetram

Yesterday Eric and I attended a bharathanatyam arangetram for a former student's mother and sister. The dance performance was held in the auditorium at Santa Clara High School and the first two hours consisted of an introduction and various dance numbers. While food was passed out to attendees at intermission I decided not to push my luck and chose to get Eric home in time for dinner, a bath and bedtime. I'm not sure how much longer the event lasted, but I was happy to have some time to relax (and watch Footloose!) after Eric was fast asleep. As you can see in the picture, their outfits were beautiful and the dancing was amazing, mesmerizing.
