    “Essay in aesthetics".............
    LEELA VENKATARAMAN, THE HINDU. Dec 2014.


    “Parampara - Ek Pravaah' , was an enthralling display of Kathak virtuosity ;.....what amazed me was the grace of Mr. Shah's arms and upper body...Despite his top-speed footwork and its stop-on-a-dime conclusions, his arms moved in waves, rivulets, soft flurishes, always demonstrating calm and ease within brilliance"..........
