"A Love Letter to Tamil" with Kylie Madhav at the Y!My gurus Smt. Maheshwari Nagarajan and Smt. Vanitha Jayan of Nritya Kala Kendra, Ahmedabad emphasize that the study of Bharatanatyam includes the study of languages. My gurus teach me the literal and derived meaning of words and phrases, and pronunciation of words so that we can bring additional depth to our dance. On January 18, 2026, linguist Kylie Madhav will join us at the YM & YWHA of Washington Heights and Inwood for a talk on Tamil as a living language. Kylie will talk about the origin and linguistic context of Tamil, share a map of the Tamil-speaking world and works from the Sangam era, and talk about the evolution of modern Tamil! Kylie is fluent in French, English, Spanish, and Haitian Kreyòl and enjoys delving into the extensive literary canon of her fifth language: Tamil. Above: Kylie Madhav (Image credit: Libby Lussenhop)
