The dancer's fluency in negotiating
space, her intutive ability for well- crafted and nuanced choreography with a sense of 'belonging ' with the theme and a feel for asthetics are all factors to reckon with.

Rama has an individualistic statement and style, strongly expressive of her joy and exuberance. Her lucid introductions matched each one of aesthetically pleasing intems.
