Express:

poise with a certain refined effect that adds charm to the
various poses she strikes on stage."

Sruti

by Leela Venkataraman
"Swati is a credit to her guru, Sonal Mansingh. She dances
with the ease and command of a seasoned performer. Her presentation
of Dari Joochu was a very mature presentation."
New York Attitude "Swati excels at Abhinaya. Her role
as educator came forth as she gave oral introductions along
with her well presented concert. Her introductions to the
dance were an art in itself and she is a master of it. Her
miming was both subtle and clear, with a very full array of
gestures and changing facial expressions." |

Patriot 1985
by Dr. Sunil Kothari
"Swati represents the young generation who performs
regularly in universities and schools in the U.S. and makes
regular visits to India to keep in touch with traditional
arts. She had the honor to perform for the 40th anniversary
of the United Nations General Assembly. Bravo Swati."

Bombayman's
Diary
"Her sensitive handling of delicate Hastas, her aesthetic
interpretation, rhythmic patterns and expressive movements
mark her as a performer who is capable of rendering and exciting
and intoxicating Cornucopia of this ancient Indian art form." |
Times
of India, Mumbai
by A. Subramanium
"Swati Gupte Bhise is a dancer who has obviously attained
mastery over her form and an undoubted emotional restraint
in her Abhinaya. For a change, grace was not confused with
loose-limbed self-indulgence, and Swatiís unflagging kinetic
verve and exuberance, tempered by an unerring sense of rhythm
was clearly in evidence." |
The
Sunday Statesman, Delhi
Swati displays compelling stage presence
"Swati is among the very few dancers gifted with a compelling
stage presence as if in the manner born. Her adavus were etched
resembling sculptures and her sense of Abhinaya commendable." |
Times
of India
by S.V. Vasudeva
"Swati like her mentor, Sonal Mansingh, under whom she
has been trained excelled in delineating and ëAshtapadií from
Jayadevaís Gita Govind and it is from the rendering of this
number that one can assertively say that Swati holds out great
expectations and immense potentialities." |
Sruti
2002- India’s premier music and Dance magazine
By Leela Venkataraman
Swati gave a mature presentation of the padam Darijoochuchunnadi
in Sankarabharanam, a composition of Sabhapati Iyer. Swati
dances with the ease and command of a seasoned performer. |
Attitude
June 2002-20th anniversary issue
Swati
G Bhise excels at Abhinaya. Her introductions are an art in
themselves and she is a master of it. Her role as an educator
came forth with the opening lecture (performed at the Lincoln
Center, Clarke theatre). |
The
Pioneer-Shani (New Delhi)
The dancer has imbibed a wonderful sense of stage craft from
Guru Sonal Mansingh. The abhinaya pieces were evocatively
portrayed. The dancer presented in a virile way old hastas
from the Bharatanatyam of an earlier era which were riveting. |
Times
of India (Mumbai)
Swati’s repertoire had not only fresh items but was
woven into dexterous rhythmic patterns holding attention of
the connoisseur. Her capacity for imagery created the mood
of bhakti (devotion) which permeated all evening. |
