Indian dancing: Poetry in motion

I took this video of Odissi dancer Shalini Paitnaik the evening I went to the Ravi Shankar Centre in Delhi, India (February 2010). Ravi Shankar and his daughter Anoushka Shankar were hosting a dance and music festival in honour of George Harrison’s birthday. He would have been 67 on February 25, 2010.
