### My story

Namaste, we’re Shreyasi Gopinath Dance Academy. Dance is just in our bones, you know? Learning from gurus at Kalakshetra shaped us, and we still feel their blessings. Taking our troupe from Delhi to Khajuraho Dance Festival was unreal, especially with our own dance drama Karna. We love creating experiences—whether it’s a Mallu feast for friends or watching our students light up a stage. Teaching is therapy for us, and seeing students smile is the best part.

### My work

- **Bharatanatyam Performances, Teaching & Choreography**: We perform, teach, and choreograph Bharatanatyam, plus take up select modeling gigs.
- **Indian Classical Dance Classes**: Classes for kids and adults. Dance should make you happy, build discipline, and sharpen your mind.
- **Innovative Choreography & Storytelling**: Original dance dramas like 'The Wheel of Choices,' blending storytelling and creative choreography.
- **Collaborative Productions**: We mix Bharatanatyam with poetry and music, like bringing Sarojini Naidu’s poems alive on stage.
