The recipient of the world's highest awards and honors,
Padma Bhushan Alarmel Valli is India's foremost exponent of Bharatanatyam, acclaimed internationally for her ability to turn a traditional grammar into subtle and deeply internalized dance poetry. Her dance is uncompromisingly classical but is, at the same time, an undeniable language of self-expression. Considered the greatest living master of the form, she has redefined the boundaries between tradition and talent, inheritance and invention.

"Valli holds the stage with the presence of a Nureyev and
the professionalism and technique of a Baryshnikov."
