Featured Dance Performances & Theatre Productions
Dance is my language, and these moments capture the stories I share on stage. From classical Bharatanatyam to fiery Flamenco, here is a glimpse into the rhythm and theatre I bring to every performance.
A moment of vibrant energy from my dance-theatre production, "SAKHI". This piece uses flowing fabrics and dynamic group choreography to tell a powerful story on stage.
A classic Bharatanatyam pose captured during a performance. The fan-like pleats of the costume and the specific hand gesture, or mudra, are essential elements of this traditional Indian dance form.
A lively group performance of Flamenco. This Spanish dance style, with its passionate rhythms and beautiful tiered skirts, is another form of expression I deeply enjoy and have trained in.
A visually striking formation from "UNMASKED," a production that reinterprets the epic Ramayana. This scene depicts the multi-headed form of Ravana through a powerful arrangement of dancers.
Capturing a moment of deep emotion, or 'abhinaya', during a Bharatanatyam piece. The subtle expression and posture convey the story of a nayika, a heroine lost in thought and longing.
A special collaboration between the Keelaka Dance Company and fashion brand OGAAN. This campaign was inspired by our production "SAKHI" and blends contemporary fashion with classical dance movements.
A solo Bharatanatyam performance captured in black and white. Stripping away the color focuses the eye on the pure form, rhythmic footwork, and graceful movements of the dance.
About Featured
Whether you are planning a cultural festival or a private event, my performances are fully production-ready. I manage the choreography, costume styling, and sound requirements, ensuring the technical setup at your venue seamlessly complements the artistic vision of the performance.
My work on stage is an extension of my belief that movement can express what words cannot. This collection highlights the range of my practice, from the grounded rhythm of traditional Bharatanatyam to the high-energy footwork of Spanish Flamenco.
My Approach to Performance
Each performance is tailored to the space and the audience. Whether it is a solo Bharatanatyam recital focused on 'abhinaya' (expressive storytelling) or a multi-dancer theatrical production like 'UNMASKED' or 'SAKHI', I ensure the technical needs are met. This includes providing lighting cue sheets, coordinating soundscapes, and handling the intricate costume and makeup requirements for a professional finish.
Technical and Artistic Scope
- Classical & Fusion: I balance the strict traditions of Carnatic orchestral tracks with the percussive demands of Flamenco fusion.
- Dance-Theatre: These productions involve narrative storytelling, props, and ensemble choreography that require collaborative planning.
- Travel: I am based in Delhi NCR but travel across India for performances, provided the venue offers appropriate technical support such as wooden flooring or a professional sound system.
My goal is to create a seamless experience where the venue team and I work in sync, allowing the narrative to take center stage without technical distractions.

I am Nandita, a dancer who believes every stage tells a story. When I am not designing interiors, you will find me choreographing narratives that blend Bharatanatyam's precision with the dramatic flair of theatre.
