Indian Fusion Dance by Nitisha Nanda

About the dance and lyrics :

A lover telling the beloved what he means to her

and how his love has made her very happy and

how his playful love has brought her heart alive.

In this piece,Nitisha plays this playful young girl.

Nitisha began her journey in dance more than 20

years ago. She has undergone intensive training

in Odissi, and has also been belly dancing for 8

years now. In this piece ,as the lover, she is

desperate to meet him, pleading him to stop this

game of hide and seek. She tries to lure him by

offering him his favorite meal. She wants to show

him how happy she is and how his love has

become the thread of her very being. She exultingly

compares herself to the light, of the moon, that he is,

telling him that her heart is in a trance, ever since he

has come into her life.

Nitisha Nanda :

Nitisha Nanda, a professional Odissi dancer is 

known to blend Odissi with Belly Dance the two 

divergent dance forms by drawing out their 

dissimilarities and seamlessly complementing them.

The classical performance art form Odissi has 

always been known for its graceful movements 

and expressions. It exudes elegance and poise. 

Add to that the percussive and fluid movements 

of alluring belly dance and voila! That's recipe for an 

incredible contemporary dance fusion performance.

Odissi is largely based on hand gestures, torso 

movements and foot work. Raqs Sharqi aka belly 

dancing is all about waist and hip movements. 

Moreover, Odissi is a temple dance style and 

belly dancing is a social dance form. 

They are diverse, but they blend effortlessly 

when it comes to technique. 

This 28-year-old has been dancing since the last 19 years 

and was trained by Guru Hare Krishna Behera and later, 

Ipsita Behoora. She is currently under the tutelage of 

Sharon Lowen. She is a Delhi University alumni with a 

Bachelor's degree in Psychology.

Born and brought up in New Delhi, Nitisha is a known name 

in New Delhi's performing arts circle and has performed in 

stage shows across the world.

Mame Khan : 

The first few notes of aalap sung by Manganiyar singer 

Mame Khan are enough to hold an audience in thrall. 

With a voice that brings images of cool desert nights 

and baking sands to mind, the singer, who hails from 

the tiny village of Satto in the Jaisalmer district of 

Rajasthan, has brought his school of folk music into 

the mainstream of Bollywood. 

It was Shankar Mahadevan who spotted the artiste 

when he was performing soulful numbers for 

Ila Arun's daughter's wedding, and made him an 

offer to sing Baawre in Luck by Chance. 

However, it was when the singer appeared in a 

Coke Studio episode helmed by Amit Trivedi in 

2012 that he shot into the spotlight. Having also 

lent his voice to songs in No One Killed Jessica, 

I Am and Mirziya, Khan finds it essential to hold 

onto his roots in the Manganiyar tradition.

LYRICS :

Lukk - chipp na javo ji, manney deed karavo ji
Are kyun tarsavey ho, manney sakal dikhavo ji
Thaari saraarat sabb jaanu main chaudhari
Mahaarey se levo na pangaaji main kehan lagi

Mahaarey hivdhey mein jaagi dhaunkani
