OT: Special Cultural Event

[sbrisco <sbrisco021@CHARTER.NET>]

I just received a beautiful invitation to the Bharatha Natyam Arangetram of
a student from my school (and who spent a little extra time with me in the
library last year talking about her experiences with coming to America and
being lost in two cultures--- her own and the U.S.).  She is somewhat of a
"loner" but someone whom I believe is very beautiful, intelligent and
talented...and since this was my first year at the school, I am extremely
honored to receive this invitation to this special day!

I would love to attend this event but I wanted to know if anyone could give
me some information about etiquette during this special time?  Primarily are
there certain things I need to do or not do?  Should I bring a gift?

Also, if anyone can give me the correct pronunciation of this event, I would
appreciate it.  I'm sure that I'm not saying it correctly  (I can barely
pronounce my student's last name!) *g*
(You may respond to me personally!)

Thanks for your insights!
