About Bharatanatyam Performances

My Connection with Bharatanatyam

Dance has always been my way of staying grounded. I’m Ramya, and juggling my work as a pathologist with my love for Bharatanatyam is just how life flows for me. The stage feels like home, and my gurus - especially my amma and Smt. Indira Kadambi - have guided me through every twist and turn. Every show, I’m learning something new. Sometimes I mess up, sometimes I surprise myself. That’s part of the magic.

What You’ll See in My Performances

I combine technical clarity with a lot of heart. Abhinaya is my jam - I want the stories I dance to hit you right in the feels. Being a doctor gives me discipline, but dance lets me break free. I carry both energies into each Margam solo performance and duet.

• Margam solo performance: Classic full-length journey, including Varnams, Javalis, and Thillanas.
• Contemporary Bharatanatyam duet: I team up for duets that play with new ideas and old philosophies.
• Thematic Bharatanatyam production: Big productions where I mix dance, poetry, mythology, and digital art. Think "Sharad" with Carnatic and Bengali vibes, "Matr̥" about motherhood, and "Karunaada Maanye", my ode to the River Cauvery in Kannada.

The Live Music Vibe

Most of my shows have a live orchestra. The sound of Nattuvangam, mridangam, violin or flute - it’s what makes the experience real. You’ll feel the energy in the room.

Why I Dance

Old stories, new feelings. Bharatanatyam keeps evolving, and so do I. If you’re a rasika (art lover), I hope you’ll find something special in my journey.
