Sneha Semaleesan

Dancer in London, United Kingdom

Heyyy!

I am Sneha Semaleesan - a Bharatanatyam Artiste based in London and Mumbai!

For me, art has always been about finding our voice, giving it space, and asking ourselves to sit with the uncomfortable truths behind familiar stories. Carrying that as my intention, the movements I chose will always have a story to tell! <3

The other tenet that I live by is Collaboration- I always look forward to working creatively with like-minded artistes and create something special (if you are one such artiste, feel free to email me at: [email protected]) :)))

In 2025, you may have seen me in:

  • “What am I doing?”, a Bharatanatyam-based solo performancethat explores what it feels like to navigate life through the lens of ADHD, was presented across London and Mumbai :))
  • Creative Lab Granteefor theUnconference Festival 2026 by Arisa Foundation

  • As part of Gayatri Performing Arts' “Spill” at “Re/action Festival” in Leicester
  • As part of London Adavu's “Ensemble” at Council of Europe
