 May I ask you who exactly "could outdo the dancers trained in India"?

If you "you move to the US either for further studies, or because of marriage", it means that dancing is not so important for you, after all, and also that you will most likely not have the time to stay in good shape. Moreover, it will most likely mean that you will be influenced by the American culture, and acquire that wry grin that is called "a smile" in the USA, and those jerky, showy artificial moves that are euphonistically called "dance". I am not saying you will most likely mean that you will start dancing like they do in the American ballet.

You write that "they have the option to come to India to see you and other dancers do real bharatnatyam". I don't think so. How much is the airfare?

Who are the "dancers of calibre living in the US"? Does "calibre" mean "size of one's bank account", "publicity in New York Times" or what?
