SDN’s Melattur Margam is a one-of-a-kind repertoire that includes unique and rare dance numbers that are presented in the glorious Melattur style of Bharathanatyam. Founded by the Maha Guru, Sri Mangudi Dorairaja Iyer, the Melattur style of Bharathanatyam exhibits swift and fluid physical movements powered by crisp and clearly defined footwork with elegant facial expressions and elaborate dramatisation. Bhakthi and Sringara are the prominent moods in these presentations.  Dr Sheela Unnikrishnan has chosen some rare and interesting choreographies to be performed in the Melattur Margam in our ‘SDN in USA tour’ 2024. The repertoire includes captivating compositions of Saint Adi Sankara, Sri Muthuswami Deekshitar, Oothukkadu Venkata Subbaiyar, Sri Pattabhiramayyar etc., along with Guru Mangudi Dorairaja Iyer’s Tatva Keerthanam and Chitra Natyam.  The trio performers of SDN in USA tour 2024, Bhairavi Venkatesan, Mridula Sivakumar and Sanjena Ramesh will present solo, duet and trio performances in SDN’s Melattur Margam.
