About Ethnic Fashion Modeling
Dance & Fashion: My Signature Style
Modeling for me is storytelling. My Bharatanatyam background shapes how I move, pose, and express emotion in every shot. Every mudra (hand gesture), tilt of the head, and subtle smile comes from years of dance practice. This isn't just about wearing clothes - it's about making every photo feel alive.
How I Bring Your Vision to Life
I love to get into character. If your brand needs a classic South Indian temple vibe, a bold modern look, or even a regal Maharashtrian queen, I can switch it up and deliver. I listen to what you want, then help make it real.
- Sarees, half-sarees, lehengas, kurtis - I've modeled it all, with a special love for traditional half-saree modeling and rich Kanjivarams.
- I get excited about Indian handcrafted saree showcase projects, especially ones that highlight local artisans.
- Jewelry, bags, accessories - I know how to make them pop, whether it's temple jewelry or something contemporary.
Collaboration & Locations
I work best with a creative team. Photographers, stylists, makeup artists - together we cook up something special. Bengaluru is home, so I'm up for shoots in temples, parks, or studios. Every place adds its own flavor to the story.
Why I Do This
'Naa Naguva Modalene' (Before I smile) - there's always a story building inside. Modeling lets me share that. If you want to create something sundara (beautiful), I'm ready to jump in.

My Story
Hey, I’m Shreya, dancer from Bengaluru, but honestly, dance for me is like prayer. Performing Gayatri Mantra solo or Shiva Stuthi with my group, every show feels special. Mysuru Yuva Dasara, opening for A. R. Rahman - pure magic, I’ll never forget that. My Gurus, sunflowers, my cat, ancient temples, small joys - all of this spills into my art. I just try to bring that gratitude and wonder on stage.
My Work
Bharatanatyam Performances & Choreography - I offer solo and group Bharatanatyam, expressive choreography for events, and Shiva Tandava dance performance.
Dance Classes for All Levels - Beginner Bharatanatyam classes through Brundavan Dance School. I help you find your rhythm, no stress.
Creative Collaborations - I work with photographers, brands, and ethnic dance modeling. Love bringing devotional dance events to life.
