About this person

Tanjore Balasaraswati, also known as Balasaraswati, was an Indian dancer, and her rendering of Bharatanatyam, a classical dance style originated in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, made this style of dancing well known in different parts of India and many parts of the world. Belonging to the devadasi lineage, she preserved the traditional form of Bharatanatyam that embraced shringara, viewing it as beautiful and spiritual rather than immoral, unlike upper-caste dancers such as Rukmini Devi Arundale, who sought to reform the dance by removing its erotic elements.
