MY STORY

My dance is born out of a combination of education, training and life experiences, which allows my perspective as an artist to remain traditional yet contemporary. Art is how I battle against the indifference of humans and offer new ways of viewing the world.

I started my dance journey  under the keen guidance of Guru Vasantha Aravindan in Chennai and then continued my training with Guru Katherine Kunhiraman in Berkeley, CA. In recent years  I have been privileged to study with Padma Bhushan Prof C.V Chandrasekhar and renowned Abhinaya exponent Smt. Bragha Bessell in Chennai.
