Arangetram: The Grand Debut

The Arangetram is the culmination of years of dedicated training, marking a student's first solo performance. I guide each dancer through this intensive preparation, from selecting items and costumes to their final, proud moment on stage.

Salangai Pooja: A Sacred Milestone

The Salangai Pooja is a beautiful ceremony where a student first receives their dancing bells, or salangai. It marks a significant step in their journey, and we celebrate it with a special performance for family and friends.

The Learning Process: In the Studio

My teaching is rooted in the strong basics and discipline I learned from my gurus. We focus on rigorous Adavu practice, understanding the theory of talas and shlokas, and providing individual attention to help every student grow at their own pace.

Our Community: Students of All Ages

My classes are a welcoming space for everyone, from children as young as five to busy working professionals and mothers reconnecting with dance. It is wonderful to see students of different ages and backgrounds learning and growing together.

On Stage: Performances & Achievements

Performing is a vital part of the dance journey, building confidence and bringing the art to life. We provide many opportunities for students to showcase their talent, including our annual day, studio concerts, temple festivals, and public competitions.

From the Guru: My Journey & Philosophy

My path to becoming a teacher was unexpected, but it has been my passion for 25 years. Here, I share some personal stories about my own training, my teaching philosophy, and insights into the beautiful art of Bharatanatyam.

Our Navaratri Series

Each year during Navaratri, we celebrate the nine forms of Goddess Durga through dance. This series showcases my students interpreting the stories and qualities of each divine form, connecting our art to its cultural roots.
