A French citizen but Indian from heart Paris Laxmi is one of the most renowned Bharat Natyam dancers who steals our heart not only from her dance but also from her grace and diligence. Paris was born in France on July 16, 1991. Her birth name was Myriam Sophia Lakshmi Quinio. It is said that true talent can never be acquired but it is born and Laxmi is a living example of this fact. She belongs to a family, where the passion of art runs in the blood. Her father Mr. Yves Quinino is a popular poet and drama artist.

Her mother Mrs. Patricia Quinio is a renowned sculptor. Her brother Q.Narayan plays drums of different styles which includes jazz and classical orchestra but this young gentleman is not restricted to foreign styles but plays tabla and mridangam with Thiruvarur Bakthavathsalam, the Mridangam Maestro. The reason why this dove is loved in India is because of her quotes about love and compassion for our country in her various articles and speeches. She says even before her birth India was a part of her family as her parents were already in love with people of India, its customs, philosophy and not to forget its arts and heritage.

Her father came to India in 1982 but as India calls every tourist, again and again, her father also came tempting but this time with her mother. Their love for our country is evident from the fact that this French couple named their child Myriam Sophia Laxmi and Theo Elie Narayan. Thus, India and dance were already an indispensable part of her even before her birth. Laxmi, at a very early age, expressed her desire and love for dance and never ever lost the determination of it. When most of us were still struggling with wet diapers, she at the age of three started to ask her mother for dance classes but unfortunately no teacher was ready to teach such a little girl.

She then, at the age of five, started her first dance classes which were contemporary in Aix-en-Provence, her birthplace. Paris's earlier vacations were of a shorter period, as for about of 2 or 3 months but her parents the time the period for one full year. It was during these vacations only that her love and zeal towards dancing improved. She along with her family watched their first show at Fort Kochi which was of Kathakali at the age of seven. As she recalls, she saw a very young artist performing for them from whom she was fascinated, which later on turned out to be her husband, like two bodies one soul. In her native place she started with jazz and classical ballet dances but at the same time she wanted to study Indian dance forms as well and it is rightly said that with true enthusiasm and love you can find everything. Paris found a Bharat Natyam teacher in their town Armelle Choquard.

At the age of 9, she started with Bharat Natyam classes with her and later ; along with trips to India; with dancer and choreographer Dominique Delorme. She till date thanks her parents and Gods for their - all-time support. She started with her performances in 1996 with Contemporary, Classical Ballet School, and Jazz, performances in theaters of France. Then, from 2001 onwards she started with Bharat Natyam for cultural and school performances. She had also performed on a song Oh January for the movie called Big B starring Mammootty, Bala, and Manoj K.Jayan. She got her name Paris Laxmi from none other than Mr. Thiruvarur Bakthavathsalam, mridangam maestro. From 2010 onwards she started performing in temples of Kerala in Kidangoor, Vaikom, Kaduthuruthy and Guruvayoor along with cultural events. Paris along with her husband Pallippuram Sunil (who is a renowned kathakali dancer) now runs their very own dancing institute Kalashakti School of Arts in Vaikom, Kerala. We wish this couple good luck for their future projects and bless them so that they continue to bring laurels to India by keeping one of the oldest dance forms alive.
