I could make this decision of taking-up dance as a career at a very young age. The great fortune in my life is that I have got my parents who are so emotionally connected with this physical skill. Their immense fondness towards dance gave me chance to start dance-learning at the tender age of three. Before my Eighth-standard (when I was 13 years old) I couldn’t recognize that; this beautiful art is the one, going to define the sole existence of my life. And especially it was a day’s decision made me now (I am) here. Just a month before his demise, my father sent me to Kerala Kalamandalam for undertaking the ‘Gurukula’ (Eight years rigorous training of dance) system of Dance learning. And that is how dance played the role of protagonist in the story of a father’s and his daughter’s endless love. His last and final dream was all about his ‘dancing daughter’ and that made the greatest decision of my life.
As I have mentioned above, I started learning dance (Bharathanatyam) at the age of three and gradually I was initiated into the other classical genres of South Indian dance; Mohiniyattam, Kuchipudi as well. I was also fortunate enough to undertake a severe training in the worldly recognized ‘Kalakshetra Bani’ (style) of Bharathanatyam. I hold my graduation (BPA) in Dance (Mohiniyattam as the main practicum and kuchipudi as the subsidiary) from Kerala Kalamandalam Deemed University for Art and Culture with first class. And I have completed my Post Graduation in MPA Dance (Kuchipudi as the Practicum) with First Rank and distinction from the University of Hyderabad. And also won the Gold medal for outstanding academic performance in the year 2012 from the University of Hyderabad. I have also finished my Phd in Dance under the scheme of UGC-JRF/SRF and awarded with the Doctorate degree on 10th February, 2020.
P.S. I do not own this song which plays in BG. But I am a huge admirer of this track and Hans Zimmer. And as this song speaks a tale of survival I would love to keep it with mine.. • Now We Are Free [Lyric...
