Opis

A chance meeting in Calcutta (Kolkata), India, with an influential British man changed the life of a six year old visiting from Kathmandu, Nepal. Multi-talented Desmond Doig saw spunk and natural ability for dance in the boy. Several years of discipline and training with renowned masters of classical Indian dances lead to a most remarkable life. Bali specialized in the art of Bharata Natyam with the master Sikkil Ramaswamy Pillai, and also studied Kuchipudi with Guru Gopinath. Bali traveled around the globe, initially as partner to Indrani Rahman, the first Miss India, and then dancing solo to recorded music. He performed for kings, presidents, and met other famous people including Mother Teresa, Picasso, Martin Luther King, Jr., LSD guru Timothy Leary, and many more. This book is based on Bali Ram's life and the people he met along the way.
