“Do you know why the Indian rain dances always worked? Because the Indians would keep dancing until it rained.”

“I do a dance to make the rain come,
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down.
Collect the love that I've been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here
You know it's real.”

“There are people doing yoga in New York, dancing around, that’s the power of India. You go to a nightclub somewhere in Spain and there’s Amitabh Bachchan on the screen there, dancing around. That’s the power of India. That’s the power of Indian people.”

“Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass… it's about learning to dance in the rain. ”

“It’s not about finding shelter in the storm but about dancing in the rain. (Zarek - Dark hunter)”

““Mani Madhava Chakyar was the personification of all the greatness of this rich Indian classical art tradition”

“Living Memory
I carry you with me into the world,
into the smell of rain
& the words that dance between people
& for me, it will always be this way,
walking in the light,
remembering being alive together”

“Perhaps only artists, painters and poets who can see how the rain sings and dances.”

““his Netraabhinaya is simply incomparable"
- Kapila Vatsyayan (leading scholar of classical Indian dance), 1990”

“So," says Lev, as casually as he can, "you wanna dance?" "Do you believe in the end of the world?" she responds. Lev shrugs. "I don't know. Why?" "Because the day after that is when I'll dance with you.”
