"If to dance is to dream, then dancers make dreams come true." -- Anonymous

Studying, performing and teaching Kuchipudi gives me endless joy and it is my fervent wish to pass on this joy to my students and to my audiences.

As a dancer, my epiphany was the moment I went beyond technique to discover the true joy of dance. I believe that excellence in dance means complete involvement and total abandon. Dance is the beginning of a new universe of expression, communicating new worlds that words or images alone cannot describe.

As a teacher and choreographer, I believe that Indian dance provides a rich and strong medium of communication that conveys contemporary as well as traditional expressions. A solid foundation of rigorous training is fundamental. Only on its solid base can the creativity and growth of Indian classical dance flourish.
