Esplanade Presents
21 Nov 2025, Fri, 7pm, 8pm & 9pm
(Intermission: None)
DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre at Esplanade
This performance brings together two vibrant traditions of Tamil Nadu—the classical elegance of bharatanatyam and the lively energy of Tamil folk arts. Bharatanatyam, one of the oldest classical dance forms of India, is known for its grace, expression, and storytelling through intricate movements. In contrast, Tamil folk arts reflect the rhythm of everyday life, celebrating community, festivals, and local traditions with powerful beats and dynamic movements. By combining these two styles on one stage, the performance celebrates both the timeless depth of classical heritage and the spirited vibrancy of folk culture, offering a unique journey into the soul of Tamil Nadu.
Makoolam Kalai Koodam
Makoolam Kalaikoodam was founded in 2019 by dance instructor and choreographer Ms. Meenalochani. The school is dedicated to teaching and promoting Indian classical dance, bharatanatyam, alongside traditional Tamil folk dances such as karagattam, oyilattam, mayilattam, poikkalkuthiraiattam, devarattam, and sakkaikuchiattam, among others.
The ensemble has performed for Indian festivities across Singapore, including events organised by LISHA, Indian Heritage Centre, Anandha Traditional Arts and Music and Kalaa Utsavam to name a few.
