“Great dancers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.†-Martha Graham
The dancer cannot be separated from the dance; she also cannot be separated from the history of dancing, from the line of dancers and teachers leading to her.
~ The Dancer and the Dance (film) ~
Baaje Tori Paayaliya is an event that uniquely blends the legacy of these famous actors with live dances and singing and presents an evening of enthralling dance and music, along with narration outlining these wonderful actors and their achievements.

“This concept is something I have hoped to bring to fruition as a partnership between dancers and singers in our community in an attempt to expand our interpretation of the material available yet do it ample justice. We are thrilled to be dedicating this event’s net proceed to Sankara Cancer Foundation who are doing stellar work in Women’s health.†, says Meena Sundaram, the producer and creative director.
Rajesh Vaidheeswaran, who leads Sankara Cancer Foundation, elaborates “Sankara Cancer Foundation's goal for 2014 is to establish regular breast cancer screenings at the Hindu Mission Hospital at Trichy to augment the other NCD (non-communicable disease) screening work that is already going on and successfully saving lives. Given the trends in lifestyle and diet, Breast cancer is considered to be a very high growth disease in India and the statistics are stark.
In 2012 in India, 144,937 were diagnosed and 70218 died of breast cancer. That is, for every two women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, one died of it. And one in twenty eight women will be diagnosed with it in her lifetime. That is a mother, a sister, a wife, a daughter and a friend to someone we know personally."
“Every program at the HMH Trichy directly helps our community, particularly the poor, in Trichy, and it is very heart warming to see that there are wonderful people coming together as a community in Boston to help our programs,“ says B. Jayaraman, Board member of SCF and Treasurer of HMH Trichy.
