This is a moment from my solo performance at the Mumbai Natyanjali festival. For me, every pose is a blend of energy and stillness, an offering to Lord Nataraja. This particular stance, with arms raised, signifies a connection to the divine, a core element of my Bharatanatyam practice.

This is my dance family. Following the Guru-Shishya Parampara, we are more than just a class; we are a community that learns, rehearses, and celebrates together. This photo was taken during our annual Dussehra Puja, a cherished tradition in our school.

Abhinaya, or the art of expression, is the soul of Bharatanatyam. In this moment, I am portraying a specific emotion from a story, using hand gestures (mudras) and facial expressions. In my classes, we focus deeply on these storytelling techniques to make the dance meaningful.

Here you can see me practicing Nattuvangam, the art of rhythmically conducting a dance performance using cymbals. This was a special moment for me, as I was doing Nattuvangam for my own Guru's performance. I also offer specialized workshops in Nattuvangam and Konnakol for advanced students.

About Bharatanatyam Classes & Workshops

Why I Dance

For me, Bharatanatyam is more than just steps or stage shows. It’s a spiritual journey, almost like a prayer in motion. I want you to feel that too - the quiet power that comes when dance feels like home.

What You’ll Learn

We start with the basics: Taalam (rhythm), Jathis (footwork), and building a strong foundation.
Abhinaya storytelling techniques are a big part of our classes. You’ll learn to express stories and emotions, not just memorize moves.
We go through classic pieces like Padam, Varnam, and Tillana, so you get the full Bharatanatyam repertoire learning experience.
If you’re already dancing for a while, we can dive into Nattuvangam and Konnakol workshops too.

How We Learn

I follow the Guru-Shishya Parampara dance classes style. It’s not just about copying steps - it’s about mentorship, respect, and growing together. We’re like a dance family. We rehearse, perform, and celebrate traditions like Vidyaarambham together.

The Vibe

Some days are all about discipline, other days we just dance for the joy of it - even if it’s in the park. Kabhi kabhi, dance mein vo baat aa jaati hai (sometimes, the dance just has that magic). That’s what I want to share with you - the discipline, the delight, and everything in between.

My Story

Started dancing Bharatanatyam when I was 7, thanks to my Guru, Smt. Revathi Srinivasraghavan. Nrityaranjani, my dance home, is like my second family - rituals, celebrations, prasadam, all of it. Dance just follows me everywhere. Hampi, Varanasi, even my own wedding - somehow, I end up dancing! Made my husband dance too, poor guy. From student to teacher now, it’s all about devotion, discipline, and a bit of madness. Grateful for every step.
