• Bharatnatyam: Bharatnatyam is a dance from South India and is believed to be "The Dance of the Gods". I started learning Bharatnatyam at the age of 7 and I learnt in for 3 years.During this period I got a chance to give performances in elementary school and later in my high school and college as well. Recently, I performed at the Asian Expo which was held at RIT's Clark Gym on April 20th. Check out my pic & the article about the Expo in Democrat & Chronicle.


• Dandiya: Dandiya or "Raas" as it is populary known, is a dance from Gujarat, West India. The dance is performed with sticks. I learnt it for one of my high school events, but I really learnt it here in Rochester when I went for the various multicultural programs here.

• Kathak: Kathak is a dance from North India. I gained experience in Kathak in my high school when we had to put up a show for our school's "Founder's Day".




• River Dance: River dance or Tap Dance is believed to have its origins in Ireland. I started learning how to Tap at the Delhi School of Music when I was in 11th grade. I learnt it for 1 and a half years and had to abandon my Tap classes because I had to come to the USA for my education.
