It is deeply rooted in the traditions, stories, and family history I live by every single day. ## Photos and videos - ![Celebrating the first day of Navaratri at home.

When you hire me for an event, you are not just booking a dancer. You are inviting a lifetime of devotion to the classical arts into your own space. For me, Bharatanatyam is inseparable from the values I was raised with. My mother and guru, Smt. Jamuna Krishnan, taught me that dance is an offering, and that spirit guides everything I do—from the way I drape a Kanjeevaram sari to how I perform a piece of Abhinaya (expressive storytelling). When I perform at your event, I bring that same discipline. Whether it is a solo Bharatanatyam recital or a group ensemble with my students from Kalangan, the focus remains on authenticity. I almost always perform with a live Carnatic music ensemble, including vocalists, mridangam, flute, and nattuvangam, because the music is the heartbeat of the dance. I treat every performance like a story I am telling to family. If you are looking for an Indian classical dance recital that feels genuine and deep, rather than just a routine stage show, I would be happy to discuss how we can bring this tradition to your event. We can work together on a thematic selection, perhaps focusing on stories of Krishna or the rhythm of a Tillana, to make sure it fits perfectly with your celebration. ## About Ragini Chandershekar I am Ragini. My home is a space of art and history, and it is from this place that I teach and perform.
