Yes as a classical dancer myself I too can assure that this Arangettam performance can be taken as per the Bharathanatyam standard for children of the age of 6-9...but her confidence and grace and a sense of innocence cannot be ignored especially considering the fact that she is facing a huge audience..and also her efforts must be considered. but yes truth be told she needs a lot of practice....
She's just doing what she loves. In a generation where people post Instagram stories sitting in posh pubs, there's a girl from a billionaire's family doing this!!!! Yes, there's always a scope of improvement. But let's just appreciate her efforts. One who's appreciated does more than expected!!!
Even those peoples are doing what they love and just posting it on Instagram.. there's nothing to defame in that act, everyone has their own preferences and paths
@@vedantshelke9539 That's the point!! People were trying to defame her for her tiny faults when all she's trying to do what she loves, just like the example of what others do. There's nothing to defame to sit in a club and have a drink. I myself do that smarty-pants. Lol.
Because of her I knew the word 'Arangetram' and went on to watch others Arangetram to get an idea of how it is done since the comments has been telling she's way behind. It was fun to watch other dancers Arangetram. As I had never been into classical dance she peaked my interest into watching
@@puneetpathak4742 I have completed my vidvat in Bharatnatyam under Karnataka State board...I have undergone Bharatnatyam training from past 17 years...Now iam Learning Kuchipudi
@@puneetpathak4742Sir For your kind information.. 1st dance performed by her is called Alaripu...it is in Khanda Talam. 2. Dance performed by her is called krithi. 3. Dance performed by her is called Pushpanjali. For every Bharatnatyam Dancers Aramandi is Important....good Aramandi shows how good dancers you are....
A lot of people are appreciating her for "promoting" the art form... But if you must promote something, you have to make it look good. I've seen people training for 10+ years and not doing an arangetram because they aren't perfect yet. An arangetram is a proclamation that you are ready as a dancer to teach the art you have perfected....This just promotes that if you have enough money you can buy knowledge, you can buy art, you can buy our culture.
very well put.. stating that a rich and famous person doing an art form even if in a substandard way is actually "promoting" it sounds like such a stupid and desperate comment as if we are begging people to see and validate our art form even if its represented poorly .. that too when the art form has existed for thousands of years and will continue to exist for thousands more ..the real challenge is protecting its essence through generations .. I consider the people who are calling this good coz of "promoting" it as worse than her dance and reminds me of this very relevant and true quote by Isaac Asimov - "“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'” .. the thing to note is that people who don't have any knowledge about this dance form still want to express their opinion about it to get attention whereas the voices of much fewer people who actually know this art well are criticizing it and yet their knowledgeable opinions drown in all the noise around it.. I wish if people didn't know about something they just kept quiet and read what people who at least have some basic knowledge about it, instead of seeking attention with their useless opinions
True that... actually if anyone knows any classical dance here, they can easily identify that she is not trained...the event is organised as they people have money.... i have seen many friends who are learning the classical dance form for many years..approximately 10+ years...still haven't done arangetram yet... teachers also never force as it is quite costly...
@@shivalikekare2997 There is this problem with non - Indian Bharatanatyam dancers too, they simply learn a bit and perform in different yoga centers, temples. Sometimes it is horrifying to watch... There are good ones also but minority. I am also not Indian but respect the art.
It's a proud and good feeling to see tradition of Indian culture & dance are getting promoted by ultra modern rich class society but there is no doubt that Ambani & Bachchan's love yo follow culture on their special big days..I appreciate..but yes there is nthg like this is best performance, we all hv seen dance India dance & India's got talent type shows that lil middle class / poor kids hv given tremendous performances after getting zero support from fmly😊💖✨ I'm proud of them more❤️
Experts may judge her, but for novice like me it's amazing to watch her doing classic dance forms, sometimes it encourages more youths more then some experts.
It's like letting an amature perform the swan lake at the royal ballet. I say give the opportunity to the talented people who have trained so very hard for years and years and hasn't gotten the acclaimation yet.
Giving an arengetram doesn't qualify anyone to teach others whatsoever.. it needs a whole different expertise to reach that level... she is far away from even beginning to learn...
Good for her, for putting herself out there for criticism but yet still wanting to go ahead with her passion for Bharatha Natyam, an extraordinarily technically difficult dance form to learn.The Indian classical dance forms need all the exposure they can get.
Many comments are happy that people like Ambani are embracing our traditional classical dance form. My question is....why do you think we have to appreciate this? Does the value of Bharatanatyam increases only when rich people do it? Doesn't Bharatnatyam alone stands with a great history and pride on its own? Stop degrading our culture. You can respect her hardwork without saying such things.
It's not easy to give stage performance after studying for 8 years. The training takes further more years to give nice stage performance. After watching the video we can clearly say that she don't have much training. Anga shuddhi is also important. She is holding her hands stiff and body too. It doesn't give nice expressions. Should involve in the song. After doing Vidvath it takes 10 to 12 years of training Rangapravesha/ arangetram is done. It's not so easy to do. But here in Radhika's case money and prestige plays a very important role.
It is a very substandard performance as far as her technique and aesthetic are concerned. It is such an irony that money has more power to persuade than real talent that many others may have in our country but they lack such resources and fan fare
As a trained bharatnatyam dancer, I can just say that she looks pretty and has a great smile, apart from that there is no grace or finesse which is associated with our craft. To people who are unaccustomed to our culture, it might be exotic but if you look through the glamour, I think you will agree. No offense, I'm not simply saying that b'coz she is rich or gifted....She genuinely has no talent when it comes to dance. Her posture,mudras and movement -it's all bad. She might be talented in something else but definitely not dance.
Mam there's no option for attaching snaps here .. I wrote the exact same words for another dance form -- odissi .. where i talked about finnesse & grace !!!!
Rich people also need to show off.....the only thing which comes to them for exploring is ART ....since art has no right or wrong ....so they can get away ....anyway most of the masses are not aware about the details of this art form.
I am just a mere dance lover not a dance expert. I really appreciate that Indian dance form was promoted by Ambanis...just kudos to that first. And on Radhikas performance I just felt that her efforts were genuine and looked pleasant overall. Indian dances should be officially embraced by all Indians... schools should make it compulsory to learn atleast one Indian classical dance form and thus promote our rich heritage. And not to forget in the age of fast food dance comes as a good physical activity.
An arangetram ceremony is done when a dancer is ready to perform infront of an audience. When she is ready is all aspects. This isn't a competition where you give away consolation prize for 'atleast' trying. It's a century old ritual of Bharatnatyam dance form. And She is not doing a favour by learning Bharatnatyam being a Gujrati either.
Many people other than dancer fraternity didn't even know what arangetram is. She at least made that a buzz word for children to be more inquisitive about the dance.
It's very good to see that people are promoting indian culture. But when they are doing this they should have perfection. The way she is dancing it's shows that she is just a beginner. But still l appreciate her dancing and hope to see her as a perfect dancer in future
Those complaining abt her imperfections in dance, thousands of videos are there on RU-vid with artists performing perfect dance...I just appreciate that she z promoting our beautiful rich culture ❤️❤️❤️
Shouldn't promoting our culture be done in the right way... If it's done in the wrong way ,,then that's promoting the wrong thing and disrespecting an artform...
@@pratyashasinha2426 it’s ordinary or difficult no matter what...she decided to do it she learned n whatever she learned she performed...not to impress u or me But for herself...
@@zaara8151 ofcourse Noone can do that..but if she didn't want criticism, a. would ve put more effort and learn than showing off OR b. wouldn't have uploaded it on RU-vid ..when they decided it to be on social media,they ve to be ready for negative critics ...
Why so much negative comments on her dance? See the good part that being a Gujarati she learnt Bharatnatyam. Plus body language n expressions of everyone is different . Maybe she must be nervous performing infront of big names. Appreciate the girl 🤗🤗🤗

@HFC well, a guru would never agree to an ARANGETRAM if a student is not yet properly trained as the performance would reflect her ability as a guru as well. And clearly even amateurs can see that she's at best, mediocre..! If the guru agreed to such a high profile ARANGETRAM.... u know WHY..??!!
People calling this awesome has not seen what real bharatanatyam is. No postures no aramandi no mudras people who have money just try to show that they know all but this art form requires years and years of practice which shows when danced. What an ungraceful performance except for the costume nothing was great!
Ofcourse she needs a lot of practice....but you cannot ignore her confidence, grace, innocence and her peaceful & beautiful personality. She was thoroughly enjoying what she was doing and thats what matters. People can criticize but she should not be mocked.
I have seen children's bharatnatyam even they perform with so much elegance and correct posture... Everything is missing here.... please use your money to do publicity only if u can show some talent...now many people will say it's her life leave them alone... Even we also want to but they forcefully do so much publicity that even if we are scrolling reels or seeing fb post these all things pop up and we are left with no option but comment.... Public cannot just blindly see and appreciate what they show.. if thats what they want then they have to limit the audience.. "money can buy the platform but money cannot buy talent!"
Arangentam means it's her very first stage performance-her debut. And if she's learning after becoming an adult it's going to be difficult. It's only her debut stage performance, I don't think judging her too negatively makes sense.
‘First stage performance’ AFTER going through the entire curriculum of bharatnatyam!!!! That is what an arangetram is! NOT just some random first stage performance after learning for an year. The entire curriculum takes atleast 7 years if done properly (unless the student is a prodigy which Radhika is not). After an arangetram the dancer can dance professionally…they can continue learning and bettering themselves but by this point they have already perfected the basics and there is no more ‘she will become better with practice’. Imagine saying a student who has failed 12th can go into MBBS because without going through the boards again because this was their first entry into a professional curriculum and they will continue to better themselves! Your comments about Radhika sound the same! I had performed my arangetram with somebody who was 40 at that time! And she was as good (if not better) than me! Been an adult here is not the problem and definitely not an excuse for been a sub standard dancer and doing arangetram.
People who are giving kudos for promoting Bharatanatyam by billionaire 's family must know that Bharatnatyam or any dance shaili doesn't need a promotion from anyone ., It itself is an asset and will be forever. Her dance is very painful to watch someone who doesn't know the basic of Bharatnatyam will only appreciate this , probably because for them it is very rare to watch someone performing Bharatnatyam ...But yes, belonging from a billionaire's family it must be very difficult for this girl to do what she loves(assuming she loves Bharatnatyam) .. it's real struggle for her.,just like Ananya pandey ;)
Omg this is absolute beautiful. Its hard to believe that middle class people like us in order to be cool is adopting the western culture. While the actual billionaires are embracing Indian art❤
Many people have made negative comments here, I would like to say one thing to them...She may not have danced well but boys and girls of her age make useless vulgar reels and have forgotten our culture.So this girl has done better than such people. She has performed our cultural dance
Really really happy that our culture and our beautiful dance form is being promoted which was kind of lost and never shown in today dance TV shows which are jus about western dance forms which appear to be gymnastics seeing our beautiful dance forms.But yes she cud have been trained better..
She is not daughter in law, she is to be daughter in law.. pahele jaan lena fir confidently comments karna.. omg kitna over confidently comments karte ho...
Seeing your humour I think your guru is KRK🤣🤣🤣 Being from such a big family she is atleast promoting Indian culture not like Bollywood struggler starkids constantly following west culture and becoming nude day by day
@@Knowledgemillenium Yes I agree with you completely but may be she was nervous and she didn't gave her best in that since very big personalities were sitting before her.
Ambani are known for promoting Indian art culture traditions and entire family is so grounded and rooted inspite of so much wealth. Kudos to nice price of art
From her expression And movements..it's very clear that she is not ready for arangetham stage... absolutely funny on how she can perform without mastering in it!!!
She literally needs practice like it is nice to promote culture but really there are a lot of genuine dance schools on yt who publish awesome videos. Like sridevi nrithalaya, radha kalpa dance academy. Even the little kids there perform better. But age doesn't matter perfection is something one should achieve
😮wow wow,mam??? She isn't mainstream dancer, she is business woman, you don't have 0.0001 percent talent too like her. She is well educated, cultured business woman, not mainstream dancer 😆
Watching this was a little odd 😂, but I really do appreciate her efforts to learn Indian classical dance and you can really see that she tried her best. Her expressions were pretty good as well! You can see she has passion.
Haters gonna write bad comments it's not about here performance it's about her love for classical dance n because of her me North Indian Punjabi now knows wat ARANGETTAM is ....
Arangetaram meaning giving performance in front of the audience for first time. So being clumsy, conscious and awkward is common. She is happy performing.
Unfortunate that money plays a role in pulling the art down. Literally anyone who knows basic dance know how rediculous this is. Disappointing to see teachers of this art form don't respect the quality and want to put the student on stage in whatever stage she is. Several fantastic artists don't get due recognition because they are not influential.
@@sumedhasanjeev8819 isn't it true. Imagine the frustration artists get after putting several hours of hard work, their soul into it for performances only to see such ppl being covered in mainstream media including tv and print.
I am seeing many comments saying that her posture is wrong, it doesn't seems like bharatnatyam, she bought art as she is rich, she is showing off, etc. Thanks for these type of replies. This truly shows that we are Indians. We Indians always criticize others with these kinds of words but praise our own kid even if he cannot draw a straight line even after using a scale. If neighbours son gets top rank first of all everybody relatives/neighbours feels bad but suddenly their mind become active and they starts telling that "what happens if he clears this examination, sharma ji son had topped in UPSC 😂". Many of those who are giving lectures that this is just showoff thier own kids donot even know basics of our culture 😂. But they are freely judging other person kids.
What i really thought- she will dance now... She will dance now No ..now she will start to dance now .. The video ends .. nd i thought its a n incomplete video there must be a part of dance which they didn't recorded...🥺 But i really like her starting part... All the best for later life
Why she's dancing in a very slow mode.. mostly she does is only poses.. i learnt it for few years.. even in my initial stages i used to have heavy footwork with upright posture not like her please don't mock our classical dance form.. i appreciate she's learning our classical dance form but when your presenting to the world you should do it properly
Whats your problem? Let her do her thing. Even i felt her performance was not upto mark , i myself being a bharatnatyam dancer. But ur criticism doesn't bother anyone. If you don't like don't watch. Dance is all about connection to urself. One dances not to show others but for oneself. showing to the world doesn't mean u have to be perfect. And art is always perspective.
It's so good to see rich people promoting our Indian culture... what a great gesture by her and how down to earth she is 💐💐👏👏 Amazing Also dance form or style may go wrong may be corrected with more practice but the beauty is the value she holds just shows here 😊
All pomp and glory .she needs to get into this artform seriously if she wants to pursue it.chage the guru or go to ashrama like kalashetra etc and get the real spirit of the dance form.
Being a well trained Bharatnatyam artist myself, her technique is mediocre. The way her arangetaram was promoted felt as if she was very good at it. In the end prestige and money won.
Well, you wouldn't have seen my arangetram but here you are commenting on a person's arangetram whom you don't even know in real life, also criticizing as if she cares, so whose video would media houses publish, mine or hers? Which would generate more revenue. As simple as that.
As a bharatnatyam dancer myself her alignment is not very stable as it should she is doing half Armandi which is looking quite weird But for her efforts she did well if she is just started learning
She seems like a beginner dancer. I have seen kids dancing like that. Off-balance and not on beat at times, even elbows look so weak. Wonder how everyone sat through, of course other than being loyal to the richest family.
What is this suddenly she is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer with just 2 dance performances available over the internet the dance moves are of some kid who started learning
It was just a school kid performance who learned the steps from youtube just for performing in school function. Actual dancers who have learned dance for years and perform these kind of ceremonies are much more refined .Her expressions and postures are cringe. Though appreciation for promoting Indian classics
Arangetram can be scary and stressful. For some it may not look like a genuine dance or anything but she is clearly giving her best. We need more flag bearers of Indian classical dance forms no matter which state it is from.
She shouldn't do it until she is a perfect professional dancer.bharatnattyam it's not like a regular dance form ....it takes more than 15 years ....I am learning bharatnattyam for 10 yrs , which is more and on that basis i will say that she needs to learn more.....
@@pratyashasinha2426 she isn't going to learn more don't worry 😂...they just wanted to show off with one stinking program that's it.. real learners won't be in a rush to show off..
Hope she get Proper teacher (Guru) To teach her proper bharatnatyam..! Also she needs to practice more..it was her initial stage in this performance..body should get more purified to do such dance..needs more stability and flexibility..!
Problem is , the grace and technicality required for bharatanatyam isn't in the costume or looks much ...with a simple cotton saree and no jewels too, a splendid performance can be given and that's what is priority in classical dance...
Hmm....Where is 8 years training. Isse kahin behtar to ishanvi karti hai whoever don't know who is ishanvi watch the youtube channel lasya what a beautiful and graceful dancer ishanvi is even she is 8 years girl
Well to speak truth, i don't think our culture is that less known because her dance is so imperfect truly speaking , people themselves have come and became mesmerized by the art, if she really wanted to promote our culture she could have taken the best dancer and done that, but when you see her focus is on audience and interest and love is towards the awards she want to receive but not on the art. We can say easily that is not at all well trained,these arts can only be gained by pure dedication and love towards the art. Another saga of money buys knowledge
Great she is into Indian cultural dance. In the past I have mocked her performance for being very childish but later I realised that she is atleast taking interest into our age old traditions and setting good example for the younger generations. I really admire this thing about the Ambanis about how they are promoting rich Indian culture at every platform possible.
Its okay that she wasn't prepared. Even our teacher don't tell us to perform if we have not properly done it in the practice. She shouldn't have performed and if she has performed she should accept criticism. She looks like she is learning Bharatnatyam for not more than 1 year
No people are hating for her insufficient baseless practice and that urgency to get on stage for publicity...isnt that the requirement for any classical dance irrespective of rich or not ??
She needs many more years of practise, performance looks artificial, choreographed and automated. Just Okay if one wants to get brownie points. The soul of classical dance is missing.
Just cool down guys! It's only her arengetram. She is talented for sure at the same time, her guru has not corrected the basic mistakes. Hope she finds a better guru and prosper in Bharatanatyam. For all of us learning a classical art form, an authentic Guru is the blessing.
I see a lot of people posting negative comments that her moves are not "perfect". But this is literally her "arangetram" - debut. Debutants are not expected to be experts and she never claimed to be one. Besides, it is undeniable that her performance is having a positive influence on the younger generation watching. In an era where Instagram modeling is considered "cool", Radhika has done her part to make classical dance forms cool among younger people. If this inspires someone to learn classical dance, have fun and be active, thats a great thing.
Aj kal sab disco karne m indian classical bhuul gai he ameer ho k b bohot logo ko bharatnatyam old fashioned lagta he but still people like her doing this happy to see
