For me, every piece starts quietly, picking up small moments from life, and turning them into stories that need no words. While Bharatanatyam is my base, I love bringing in new ideas to keep the art alive. ### What I Offer - Custom Bharatanatyam choreography for solo or group - anything from a short piece to a full-length thematic production - Deep storytelling through dance, often drawing inspiration from the Ramayana, Srimad Bhagavatam, and other classics - Original music and lyrics, collaborating closely with poets and musicians - Focus on expressive abhinaya, dynamic karanas, and intricate jatis that make each performance personal ### Fusion & Unique Touches I come from a puppeteers’ family, so sometimes I mix dance with Bombeyaata (Karnataka string puppetry) for something special. If you’re looking for dance and puppetry fusion, or want to try something out-of-the-box, I get genuinely excited. ### My Process Every choreography is original and collaborative. I put a lot of heart into each piece, so I do expect the work we create together to stay unique to you. I’m based in Bengaluru but happy to work with you wherever you are. Let’s talk about your ideas and bring your story to life on stage. ## Highlights Browse through Divya Hoskere's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/divthedancer/dance-choreography-services/featured) - ![This moment of flight captures the pure bliss I feel when I dance.

Amma’s tales of Ramayana, her bhakti - shaped me. Dhaatu Puppet Theater, puppets everywhere, it’s always been home. My guru, Praveen Kumar, showed me what the stage really means. That first time in Madras, 2011, just watching. Fourteen years later, I’m there, performing. Kālāya tasmai namaha. I study Natyashastra, chase karanas, find art in rain, in people, in life. For me, dance is everywhere. Blessed. ### My work - **Bharatanatyam Performances, Classes, Choreography, Dance-Puppetry**: I do solo thematic shows, teach all ages at Kalāmārga, create dance-puppetry fusion, and choreograph. - **Storytelling Through Dance**: I love bringing stories like 'Shringara Sharanagati' to life, making emotions the heart of my Bharatanatyam. - **My Dance Style**: Light feet, azhutham (groundedness), and lots of karanas. My research in Natyashastra shapes my teaching. - **Kalāmārga & Rasa Rahasya**: Beginner and intermediate Bharatanatyam classes, plus the Rasa Rahasya course for those wanting to dive deep. - **Dance-Puppetry Fusion Shows**: I mix Bharatanatyam and Bombeyaata puppetry, like in 'Rukmini Parinaya'—especially fun for kids. ## More services from Divya Hoskere - [Bharatanatyam Dance Performances](https://mytribe.in/divthedancer/bharatanatyam-dance-performances) · ₹65K-1.3L per performance (estimate) - [Bharatanatyam Classes & Workshops](https://mytribe.in/divthedancer/bharatanatyam-classes-workshops) · ₹2,500-6,000 per month (estimate) ## Experts similar to Divya Hoskere on mytribe - [Bharatanatyam Performance & Choreography Services by Nrithyakuteera](https://mytribe.in/nrithyadeepa/bharatanatyam-performance-choreography-services) · ₹10K-1.3L per performance (estimate) · Nrithya Kuteera - [Bharatanatyam Choreography by Adithya](https://mytribe.in/adithya.pv/bharatanatyam-choreography) · ₹18-75K per piece (estimate) · Upadhye School Of Dance - [Dance Choreography Services by Nirupama Rajendra](https://mytribe.in/nirupama_rajendra/dance-choreography-services) · ₹1.5-5.5L per choreography (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Bharatanatyam Performance & Choreography by Sushmitha Suresh](https://mytribe.in/sushmithasuresh93/bharatanatyam-performance-choreography) · ₹60K-1.1L per performance (estimate) · Vivartana - the art studio - [Bharatanatyam Performance by Navyashree K N](https://mytribe.in/navya_shree_k_n/bharatanatyam-performance) · ₹18-58K per performance (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Folk Dance Consultancy & Curation by Sneha Kappanna](https://mytribe.in/snehakappanna/folk-dance-consultancy-curation) · ₹40K-1.6L per event (estimate) · Kappanna Angala - [Wedding & Event Choreography by DivnDee](https://mytribe.in/divndee/wedding-event-choreography) · ₹3.5-12K per song (estimate) · Div N Dee Dance Company ## Book To book Divya Hoskere, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Dance%20Choreography%20Services%20by%20Divya%20Hoskere.)
