Rangapravesam holds a special place in the dancer’s heart and mind. Months of practice and perfection culminate into a performance marking the graduation of dancer. It was my first solo performance for an audience of hundreds of friends and family accompanied by live orchestra. For me, it was a beginning of a new chapter.

It took over 10 years of dancing with dedication combined with love and nurturing of my Guru Smt Shirni Kanth to reach the milestone. Shirni aunty continues to guide me even today. I enjoy collaborating with her for my post Rangapravesam performances.
