"...Mythili’s nritta [technique] stood out for its precision, unflagging energy, and splendour. The mnemonics were a tonal treat, highlighting a particular tone and phrase in each sequence to characterize and distinguish it from others.... Mythili merged effortlessly into the rhythms, her whole body attuned to the tones, modulations and frequencies of the jati [rhythmic segment], from attami [neck movment] to tattumettu [footwork]. Every one of her high speed kitatakatarikitatoms in the charanam was flawlessly done." - Gowri Ramnarayan

Dance Spirit Magazine, New York, Dec 2008

"Mythili’s welcoming presence and stellar technique left a buzz of new interest in the genre [Bharata Natyam].... She encouraged the audience to figure out what different gestures meant, and as they called out phrases and helped complete an example sentence, the collective comprehension rose. When she resumed performing, the humongous round of applause proved that she had succeeded in her goal: A hip, young, NYC audience understood – and loved – her version of the ancient dance." - Lauren Kay

"The find of the festival (International Dance Alliance) however was young dancer-choreographer, Mythili Prakash. In her suave and contemporary solo and group offerings, one could see the happy blend of Western stagecraft and Indian aesthetics... it was the packaging that caught one's attention. The style quotient dominated in the solo 'Surya' based on the Aditya Hridayam and in the subsequent 'Current' that was a truly electrifying group number..." - Rupa Srikanth

"Simply Sparkling... a Bharatanatyam delight... Geography and distance have not dented the Indian in Mythili who is an uncommon aggregate of talent, commitment and presence with that precious ingredient of integrity, which burnishes her art with a special luster. While describing her dance, one has to constantly rein in the unbridled praise threatening to run away. At her entrance itself... the audience was alerted, made to sit on the edge of the seat... it was the dancer’s inner fire that spoke. The strikingly bold stances... after electrifying movement, the chiseled beauty of the araimandi and toe-heel kudittu-metta, all executed with such joy and passion sprang from the obvious fountain of youth and agility. But what of the interpretive skill where Mythili’s capacity for internalization carried everyone on a magic carpet, the entire space charged with emotion, never allowed to be maudlin." - Leela Venkataraman

The Hindu, Chennai, 2006

“Dynamic Mythili Prakash began her performance with "Shiva-Shakti." Rarely does one find a dancer whose own energies are so remarkably suited to the task of portraying the energy divine. In the fast-paced and demanding item, Mythili's dazzling leaps and powerful nritta evoked the feminine force underpinning all creation. In peak physical condition, Mythili was even more impressive in Papanasam Sivan's Nattakurinji varnam. Long, racy theermanams with intricate sub-divisions of time, studded with flying jumps and whirling turns-on-the-knee, were performed with unfaltering precision and grace by Mythili. It was a high-voltage, psychedelic portrayal of Siva's dance. Her bhava was sensitive and involved." - Tulsi Badrinath

Pulse Magazine, London, 2006

"She marks her feet sharply but lightly, she moves at lightning speed on the ground and through the air without blurring, she is sure and reassures us in her physicality... she rarely pauses as she moves, and when she does she holds it (poses) to perfection.... Jumps, turns and solid grounded steps executed to as near perfection as a human body could possibly render.... I would be justified in describing Mythili as being blessed with facial features not far from what is described as "ideal" in the Natyashastra for a dancer, and expressiveness..." - Annapoorna Kuppuswamy

"...a sunniness and integrity in approach, and her ability to shift among character is quite accomplished and mature. In a depiction of the infamous dice game in the "The Mahabharata," ...Prakash brought each individual to distinctive life.” - Chris Pasles
