Padmavani and Jaikishore Mosalikanti will present a traditional Kuchipudi repertoire entitled Nrityamaalika.

Sri. Mosalikanti Jaikishore began his dance career at the age of seven under Padmabhushan Guru Dr. Vempati Chinna Satyam of the Kuchipudi Art Academy, Chennai. In the 18 years he trained under his guru, he became an accomplished dancer with an uncanny understanding of the nuances of the art. Mastering the intricacies of the Kuchipudi style, Jaikishore excelled in important roles in his guru's ballets and solo performances. His technical perfection, incomparable flexibility, and complete transformation into the character he depicted won him strong reviews and accolades.

Padmavani, wife and disciple of Sri. Mosalikanti, was initiated into dance at a young age and has eventually grown to be a Kuchipudi exponent. Though her initial training was in Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi became her passion after she joined Kuchipudi Kala Kendra Mumbai in 1995. She very soon mastered the basic nuances of the art form and became an important part of Kala Kendra's troupe, giving group and solo performances. She has also played major roles in the dance-dramas.
