It had difficult shabdam, varnam, padam, javali and thillana - key elements in the Indian classical dance form bharatanatyam.

Budding dancer Soo Mei Fei executed the rhythmic pieces flawlessly at the Goodman Arts Centre Black Box on Tuesday. The performance was not a debut but that of a professional dancer, said veteran local dancer and choreographer V. Balakrishnan. I have no words to express the standard and quality of Mei Fei s performance from the first piece itself. She has a very bright future.
