Shiva Ganga review, english - October, 2004

"It was, though, the incandescent sensuality of the young, Paris-based Shantala Shivalingappa that electrified the predominantly Belgian audience - I would have defied anyone in Desingel's Rode Zaal that night not to have responded warmly to her sensational display of kuchipudi dancing. This was a performance packed with expressiveness and vivacity, where both passion and grace could be seen in a single movement of the body."
De Morgen, Antwerp, Belgium

Shantala's dance is like the dancing glow of a flame, which enlightens us.

We were deeply moved by her beauty, her grace, her lightness and agility.
A great dancer ( ... )

With her graceful leaps, Shantala Shivalingappa carries you to enlightened heights.
Midi-Pyrenees, France

Delicate, flexible and with the bursting energy of her youth, Shantala Shivalingappa rendered a fine Kuchipudi. She brought out the grandeur of a flowing, graceful, joyous dance.
Liberation, Paris

Shantala Shivalingappa's incomparable grace and extreme dexterity have already won over the festival's audience.
Le Meridional, Avignon

Quiero destacar fundamentalmente a esa maravillosa Shantala, cuyo trabajo conmociono al publico
I want to specially praise this marvelous Shantala, whose dance deeply moved the audience.
