My Story
Never thought I'd be a dance teacher, honestly. MBA in finance, banking dreams, then life threw me into teaching Bharatanatyam in America. My mom put me in dance when I was six—no drama, just routine. Learned from legends like Adyar K. Lakshman sir, every day, no breaks. Did my Arangetram at 12, showed up to class next morning, got a 'Enna innaikke vanduttiya?' from my guru (you came today itself?!). Skipped MBA finals to perform at Sathya Sai Baba’s birthday—no regrets. Dance just became home.
My Work
Bharatanatyam Classes (Online & In-Person) - We teach kids, adults, working folks—everyone. From basics to Salangai Pooja and Arangetram coaching.
Individualized Learning - No cookie-cutter lessons. I go at your pace—some rush, some chill, all grow.
Growth Beyond Dance - Arangetram isn’t just a show. It’s discipline, stamina, confidence—watching students transform is the best part.
Legacy & Tradition - I learned from Vazhuvoor style gurus. Every class, every correction, it all builds up to those big moments.
