TA Rajalakshmi, "one of the best devadasis of Tiruvidaimarudoor" as per Wiki, lived in Kolkata and had been the guru of Chitra Visveswaran and Vani Ganapathy.
And what is it that many of the senior teachers of Bharatnatyam dance in those years seemed to be Pillais? Here is one more dance and Pillai combination: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sripriya
See the image (you need to zoom plenty): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanjavur_Quartet
Read about Vazhuvoor Ramiah Pillai (and see the list of his disciples, maybe it's exaggerated?)
About TA Rajalakshmi by Chitra Visveswaran: http://www.abhai.org.in/e-patrika/yaaro-ivar-yaaro-august-2013.html and http://bharathanatyam.in/about-her-guru.
TAR herself apparently was a disciple of Meenakshi Sundaram Pillai as per http://www.bhavalaya.com/art%20and%20culture/famous_bharatanatyam_dancers.html
