"
Prashant Shah, one of my favorites, was tall and debonair,
the Fred Astaire of Kathak -- when he smiled, you did too."
Rachel Howard, San Francisco Chronicle, USA
" ...the distilled clarity of lines, the stillness of centered
dancing, the repose and tranquility and joy reflected in the dance."

" ...Shah's performance displayed wonderful contrasts,
with moments of sharp clarity... Spinning, he seemed caught up in a whirlwind,
looking down upon the audience from a cloud."
