Its the most important recognition for the form and our work and what every serious dancer in the country aims for, said Patel. Shankar, selected for her work for creative and experimental dance, said: I am overwhelmed because it was unexpected. The first person I thought of was Ananda [Shankar] because he would have been very happy.
