				 About Yael Tal | 
				 | 
	
		| 
				
				
				My name is Yael, born is Israel.
 I started dancing to western techniques from a very young age.
 My passion for dance got me to tour the world and find the dance 
				of different cultures (Thai traditional dance, 
				Nepali folk dance 
				and more), but the most fascinating dance for me is the 
				classical Indian dance.
 
				
				I began my first Kuchipudi class in January 2004 
				under the guidance of my
				Guru Vyjayanthi Kashi.Through her teachings of Indian dance she exposed me to rhythms, 
				stories of a great rich culture, spirituality and devotion.
 I was fotrunate to be granted with an ICCR 
				scholarship  (Indian Council of cultural Relation) to 
				deepen my studies.
 I 
				have 
				performed on many stages and festivals throughout India with the
				Shambhavi Dance Ensemble.
 
 Today in Israel, I Introduce this special style to the people of my 
				birth country by Performing and teaching this special style.
