About Bharatanatyam Choreography

I see dance as a way to return to the basics while still finding new ways to tell a story. For me, Bharatanatyam isn’t just about steps or following a set formula - it’s about connecting with the audience and letting the rasa (emotion) come through in every piece.

My Choreography Style

• Every piece I create is built around a strong story and abhinaya (expression).
• I like to mix classic Bharatanatyam with little twists, drawing from poetry, mythology, and even nature.
• My work often blends guidance from my Guru and Amma, Smt. Indira Kadambi, with my own ideas.

What I Offer

• Full thematic productions: I can help turn your concept into a complete solo or group show, from theme to script, choreography, and artistic direction. Think of it as making your vision stage-ready.
• Solo or group pieces: Need one piece for an arangetram or a group performance? I choreograph everything from varnams to thillanas, and more expressive works like padams and javalis. I’m comfortable with both traditional Margam choreography and custom themes.

My Process with You

• We start with a chat to find what you want to express.
• I’ll script and choreograph, then teach, focusing on both technique and expressive abhinaya choreography.
• We polish it together so it feels natural and true to your story.

A Few Past Works

• "Sharad - Rising through Fall": a solo around autumn, mixing Dhunuchi Naach and Baul influences.
• "Karunaada Maanye": inspired by a Kannada poem, expressing the spirit of Cauvery river through dance.

If you want storytelling in your Bharatanatyam, with space for your own ideas, I’m up for it. Let’s see what we can create together.
