I strongly believe that "Art is not only for entertainment but also for enlightenment". Bharatanatyam is that form of classical dance where divinity lies in itself and enlighten those who believe in it.

I have been a great lover and devotee of art since my birth. I started my fundamental training in Bharatanatyam under the tutelage of Guru Vid. Raman at the tender age of 6. Later my growing interest pursued me to learn under Guru, Dr. Kripa Phadke of Nrityagiri performing arts and research centre Mysore, India. Later on I presented my Rangapravesham in Bharatanatyam under her able guidance.

"Nrityaloka" is my hub of Indian classical dance. Having performed in various dance recitals across India, Me and my students have been blessed with many opportunities to perform in US such as Nationwide Cultural Exchange program, Telugu Association Central Ohio, Federation Of Indian Association, Vindhya Cultural Association programs, Festival of India Virginia, Indian Association Of Virginia, Navika Kannada Summit, 9th AKKA summit and many more.

My Choreographies include :

Devi

Karnataka Kaladarshana

Kannadada Mukuta MaNigalu

With dedicated efforts, commitment and enthusiasm, I continue my artistic path and wish the support and encouragement of the connoisseurs.
