This is the first glimpse into my world of dance, a blend of rigorous training, expressive performance, and the unique balance I strike between my life as a doctor and an artist.

Solo Performances: The Margam

See my journey through the traditional Bharatanatyam repertoire, from the invocatory Alarippu to the climactic Thillana. These performances showcase the intricate footwork (Nritta) and expressive storytelling (Abhinaya) that form the core of my art and teaching.

Inside the Studio: Practice and Process

This is where the hard work happens. My classes focus on building a strong foundation with rigorous Adavu practice and technical precision, whether you are a beginner or an advanced student. We also explore choreography and the rhythmic art of Nattuvangam.

A Doctor Who Dances: Balancing Passion and Profession

As a practicing pathologist, I understand the challenge of balancing a demanding career with a deep passion for art. I share my experiences and insights on how discipline from dance strengthens life, and how empathy from medicine enriches art.

My Gurus and Lineage

I am a product of the incredible teachings of my gurus, including my Amma, Acharya Smt. Indira Kadambi, and Guru B. Bhanumati. Their wisdom and guidance shape every class I teach and every performance I give.

Sharing the Art: Community Workshops

I believe dance is for everyone. I am grateful for opportunities to share the joy of Bharatanatyam with children in rural schools and diverse communities through the Ambalam Foundation.
