From the Business:I take pride in providing seamless learning experiences for all ages. I am a professional and certified Kuchipudi & Contemporary dancer. Each dancer has their own story and I thrive to bring out the inner talent. I also own an operate a Yoga Studio as well as virtual sessions for my dancers and fellow practicers. While I am a toddler, I've performed across numerous stages. At Age 5, I've competed locally. At Age 8, I've competed on a state-level. At Age 12, I saw myself not only teaching but performing at an inter-state level. At Age 12, I wanted to improve my dance. I wanted to perform bigger. I wanted to be better. But, my dance practice, routine, and regime wasn't enough. Meeting the demands of Contemporary, Fusion, and Indian Classical, I've been mentored by industry leaders. Some of the most difficult challenges I've faced while performing, creating, and competing led me to my second passion, Yoga. As a supplement on a physical and mental level, Yoga has allowed me to stay fit and healthy and it allowed me to transform myself as an entertainer. You can select the style of Yoga & Dance you wish to pursue along with your level of desire. If you have prior experience, please select a level accordingly or reach out directly for a free consultation.
