I curate each repertoire to match the specific energy of your venue and audience, often providing English introductions so your guests, no matter their background, feel deeply connected to the stories I am telling. Whether you need a short, high-energy invocation for a brand launch or a full hour-long traditional recital, we will work together to ensure the selection fits your event's flow perfectly. The magic of a solo performance lies in the connection between the dancer and the audience. My training, under the guidance of my Guru Sri P. Praveen Kumar, focuses on more than just technique; it is about bringing abhinaya (expression) to the forefront. When we plan your event, we have a few options to consider. For corporate launches or inaugurations, I often recommend a high-energy solo piece, like an invocation or a fast-paced Tillana, which lasts between 10 to 15 minutes. This creates a striking opening without overwhelming the schedule. If you are hosting an event where dance is the central focus, such as a private recital or a cultural celebration, we can arrange a full Margam. These sessions last up to 75 minutes and allow for a deeper exploration of themes. I often intersperse these with narrations to bridge the gap for those less familiar with the classical arts, making the experience accessible and engaging. Logistically, I manage the performance details myself, from the traditional Kanjeevaram costumes and temple jewelry to the audio production. If you choose the full live orchestra option, I coordinate with a four-piece ensemble—vocals, mridangam, nattuvangam, and violin or flute—to bring an authentic, powerful acoustic experience to your stage. My goal is to ensure the performance feels like a seamless, respectful extension of your event. ## About Shreema Upadhyaya I’m Shreema. While I’ve spent years training in Bharatanatyam, I’m also just a person who loves the process of turning movement into emotion. My shows aren't about stiff tradition; they are about storytelling that feels alive, whether I’m performing in a temple or on a corporate stage.
