This is the first glimpse potential students and rasikas have into my world. I've chosen these visuals to tell a complete story: the dedication of the training, the joy of performance, the strength of our community, and the deep cultural roots of our art form.
From Sadhana to Stage: Student Performances
I believe the true measure of a guru is the success of their students. This gallery is a proud showcase of my dearies, from their first solo Margams to award-winning recitals, embodying the grace, precision, and deep abhinaya we cultivate at Ambalam.
Inside the Studio: Our Training Process
Bharatanatyam is a sadhana, a dedicated practice. Here, you will see the core of my teaching philosophy in action, from rigorous Adavu drills that build precision to expressive Abhinaya sessions where stories come to life. This is where dancers are forged through discipline, honesty, and a deep love for the art.
The Soul of Dance: Live Music & Orchestra
At Ambalam, dance and music are inseparable. My husband, Carnatic vocalist T.V. Ramprasad, and our talented orchestra are integral to our training and performances. This gallery showcases the vibrant synergy between the dancer's movements and the live music that breathes life into them.
My Journey in Dance
As a guru, I continue to be a performer and choreographer, constantly exploring the depths of Bharatanatyam. This is a collection of moments from my own performances, where I share my personal interpretation of this sacred art form, from traditional Margams to thematic productions.
Ambalam Foundation: Art for All
I believe that art has the power to uplift and transform. Through the Ambalam Foundation, we are committed to taking music and dance beyond the studio and into the community, especially to underprivileged and rural children. This is our way of giving back and ensuring our cultural heritage thrives.
Recognition & Reviews
It is always an honor when our dedication to the art of Bharatanatyam is recognized by critics and cultural institutions. This collection of media clippings and award announcements stands as a testament to the hard work of my students and the quality of training at Ambalam.
Upcoming Performances & Workshops
Our calendar is always buzzing with activity, from student recitals and festival performances to workshops and special productions. Stay updated on our upcoming events in Bangalore, Chennai, and beyond. We would be delighted to have you join us as a rasika.
Life at Ambalam
Ambalam is more than just a space for dance; it's a community where we celebrate festivals, share our philosophies, travel together, and support one another. This gallery offers a personal glimpse into the vibrant life and nurturing environment that we have built around our shared love for art and culture.
