on Nikolina’s performance at the International Dance Festival“Outbound beats of India “May 2009. organized by Utsav Cultural Society of Padmashree Ranjana Gauhar

“…Her Bharatanatyam had all the salient feature of sound training of Saroja Vaidyanathan.

The lines were clean, perfect, utplavanas-jumps- clear and impressive and striking of the scupturesque poses in the Swami Dayananda Saraswati’s Bho Shambho was aso impressive.

As a Westerner, she has adapted remarkably well to the ethos of India.

Her movements have been moulded to suit Bharatanatyam.

She reflected emotions competently in Neeraja Padam.

In nritta, she is at ease.

Her dedication and love for Bharatanatyam came through. “
