Jyotsna Jagannathan’sdance recital at the Narada gana sabha Mini Hall was marked with restraint and composure..her dance was characterised by clean lines and firm footwork. .Jyotsna nritta was presented with self confidence and she handled these pieces with such effortless ease that even certain adavu combinations which required stamina seemed deceptively simple. Commitment and passion, the two essential ingredients for success, was amply evdent in Jyotsna’s dance and with experience she is sure to emerge to the forefront.” (Janaki.S., The New Indian Express, March 2007)

Petite and poised, Dr. Jyostna Jagannathan’s dance recital was pleasing because of its calm quality. Even in Varnam, serenity never left the dancer as she went from one nritta portion to another…likewise the bhava factor… neat footwork (especially the teermanams) that deliberately sought to provide softness was most evident…”(Chitra Mahesh, The Hindu, January 2005)
