TESTIMONIALS
There are several ingredients that go into creating a lasting impact at a Bharatanatyam recital.
Reflection of rigorous training: Jwala's footwork was brisk, precise, in sync and crisp making the exquisite and challenging muzhu mandi adavus seem effortless Impeccable nruttha.
Bhava: Often subtle, but vibrant and distinct like the hues of the rainbow, Jwala's expressions and bhava flowed from within.
She has internalized the sahitya truly and what the audience got to experience was a sincere ripple from her heart.
Brilliantly done.
Poise and elegance: A physical frame perfectly chiseled for dance; Jwala seemed to breathe life to our sankalpa of temple statues and figurines. She awed us with her statuesque poses and smooth but sure finishes to jathis.
An X-factor: It's really hard to come up with a formula for success. There was a certain X-factor that elevated Jwala's performace to a high for rasikas. Call it Grace, call it a certain Sraddha towards the art form, call it an abundance of Guruthwam, well, perhaps it was a combination of them all. Her passion and dedication shone throughout the performace.
All in all, a very enjoyable concert. Stay blessed and I wish Jwala all the very best in this beautiful journey. My praNams to her gurus.

Jwala performed an intense seeker of Lord Shiva wondering and in awe to a Nayika who comes out confident about her Nayaka, Lord Vishnu, and a mother who with all love and affection disciplines her dear son Krishna. Quite an expansive range of emotions she displayed... Looking forward to watch her performances.

It was a genuine pleasure watching excerpts from the classical dance performance videos of Jwala. I am agreeably surprised by her understanding of the Bharatanatyam dance form, her precocious dedication to it and reserves of expressiveness. At such a young age, Jwala emerges as a promising dancer. My compliments to her and her gurus.

"Music is my life and dance is my passion" - is the mantra of Jwala Rejimon. Passion is the driving force behind hard work, perseverance and pursuit of excellence. The culmination of all of those was witnessed by a very large audience on August 15th when Jwala graduated from Bharatanatyam training with a superb performance at her Arangetram. I have attended many of the Arangetrams but her performance was the best I have seen.Jwala shows great promise and will definitely make a mark for herself in fine arts. I wish her continued success in her pursuit of fine arts.

Jwalas Bharatanatyam arangetram performance was truly of professional quality - far beyond what one may expect from an entry-level effort. She truly lived up to her name Jwala - she fired up the audience with her flame.... 16 Aug 2015

It was our privilege to make a Flute for Jwala. Even more meaningful, though, has been watching Jwala soar to new heights with her flute. It is obvious how dearly she values the instrument and with it, has been able to express the music from within that is uniquely HER. When we presented the flute to Jwala, we wished her a lifetime of JOY with her instrument. Now, we see her giving JOY through her music to so many others. It is finest and most humbling tribute any flute maker could ever receive. 20 June 2015

Kumari Jwala Rejimon is a gifted Bharatanatayam dancer. I had the opportunity to see her enormous talent, devotion, and passion for dance at her Arangetram on August 15, 2015. At this breathtaking performance, I thought that I was sitting in a higher Court and witnessing the veneration of deities. Jwala gave a performance that left her venerable dance and music teachers, and the audience in awe and speechless. We rejoiced in the feeling that we were witnessing a young talent rise to stardom beyond her years before our eyes. 27 Aug 2015

I have worked with Jwala in a master class and also in a private lesson in Indianapolis- both times it was truly a joyful journey to see her improving so quickly as I suggested her a few things. Not only she is extremely intelligent, but I also value her warm personality and such eagerness to play beautiful music. Because performing is a transparent activity which automatically reflects who you are inside, and in the next many years I would love to hear more of what Jwala has to say from inside out.

Jwala was a refreshing presence in the New World Youth Orchestras. Her playing was beautiful and cleverly controlled, and her personality was bright and positive. In addition to playing flute and piccolo in our top orchestra, she also won one of our concerto competitions.

Jwala started Bharathanatyam lessons with me at a very young age. She was very passionate about dance and was always willing to learn the intricate techniques of it. She followed her practice schedule regularly and would always be prepared for the class. I am so glad she has progressed into a beautiful dancer.
