About Arangetram Training
Why I Teach Arangetram
I didn’t plan to become a dance teacher - I was headed for a corporate job after my MBA. But guiding students through their Arangetram became my calling. I’ve helped more than 67 dancers reach this milestone, and every journey is unique.
How I Work With You
One-on-one coaching is my style. I don’t rush students to the stage. We go at your pace, focusing on technical skills and building your confidence, whether you’re a school student balancing exams or a working mom squeezing in late-night practice.
Crafting Your Solo Debut
Your Arangetram isn’t just about learning steps. We create a solo Margam preparation plan, and I choreograph pieces that fit your personality. We master every part — Nritta (pure dance), Nritya (expressive movement), and Natya (storytelling). The repertoire is designed just for you, so your strengths shine.
The Complete Performer
There’s more to the stage than dance. We work on dance stamina for debut, and I run workshops on Abhinaya (expression) to help you tell stories that connect. I help you pick and tailor costumes that look elegant, not flashy. You’ll also be ready for the live orchestra experience, practicing with musicians so you’re prepared for the real thing.
Staying True to the Art
Discipline matters. My Guru once exclaimed, ‘Enna innaikke vanduttiya?’ (What, you’ve come today itself?), when I showed up for class right after my own Arangetram. That kind of dedication runs deep in my teaching, but I know each student’s journey is different. The most important thing is not giving up on dance.

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.
