Dance is therapy. Close your eyes and move to an emotion. The power of communication through movement breaks all language barriers and the purity of space and emotion is the most easy to understand by all.

My journey began at the age of 5 with my first Kathak lesson, and since then there has been no turning back. What was a pure passion, at some point in time, became a profession, and that became the joyous day of my life. The happiness you share with simple body movements, the joy seen in others eyes because of your actions, is a reward that can match no other. Dance is my way of life.
