My Story
I'm Amrita, dancer, mom, storyteller. My journey’s tangled up with Shlok—my late husband—who cheered me on, even in those sticky, no-AC Chennai basements. He’d get his hands on the mridangam, grinning away, filling our home with music and laughter. After he passed, art became my anchor. Now, every time I dance, it’s for my boys, for him, and for anyone who needs a bit of that magic.
My Work
Kuchipudi Performances & Workshops - I do solo and group Kuchipudi shows for events, plus run Kuchipudi dance workshops for anyone curious.
Collaborative Productions - Love mixing things up—like my 'Call of the Flute' that blends Kuchipudi, Pichwai painting, and live flute.
Storytelling through Dance - I tell stories, from Krishna’s leelas to Rabindra Sangeet, making each performance about feeling and connection.
Teaching & Process - It’s all in the details. I enjoy sweating the small stuff, sharing that with students, and finding joy in the practice.
