About

Art isn’t just performance for me - it’s what I live. Nritya, Kalike, Karma. I’m all about the grind, the daily practice, not just the applause. The real journey is in showing up, sweating it out, laughing at yourself, and sometimes craving that gulab jamun after a tough session.

How We Train Together

I teach with Adithya PV, sometimes solo. Sessions happen in different ways:

• Online Bharatanatyam classes (Antar Shaala) if you want to learn from anywhere
• In-person workshops across India and abroad. We’ve held sessions in Mumbai, LA, Paris, Zurich, and more
• Residential dance retreat at Punyah Abhyasa Shaala, Chikhale - a modern Gurukula setup for full immersion
• Private or semi-private coaching for deeper, personal attention

What You’ll Get

We go through the basics like Adavus and key techniques. I teach full Margam training for experienced dancers, and unique choreographies - including Bharatanatyam abhinaya techniques and nritta. Some workshops are open to all, some only for those with solid years of practice behind them.

The Real Stuff

You’ll work hard, no sugarcoating. Sessions start on time, so 15-min early is best. Tenacity matters more than talent here. Don’t wait for someone else to call you up. Be the call. Show up. Let’s dance with joy and fire.
