Thrilled to be performing in California at the Lake Forest Performing Arts center on February 21st. Thank you to and for the opportunity. I am truly excited!

I’ll be presenting pieces that speak to the power of water - as a flow of knowledge, the essence of all that is, a source that powers life and our very consciousness, but also as a current that can drown someone in despair.

A few moments from two weeks ago at Diaspora Dance Festival. Grateful beyond words to and her extraordinary team for creating space where diaspora artists are seen, held, and celebrated.

2025 asked more of me than I expected.
It demanded intensity, resilience, and perseverance beyond the norm.

Those who know me know this: every choice I make—big or small—is intentional. I give fully to my work as a fintech executive, honoring each milestone earned with my team. I parent with eyes open to the forecast—meltdowns, viruses, tears—and with a heart wide enough to hold the laughter and magic in between. I do all of this beside a partner who understands that weathering a storm doesn’t mean missing its beauty.

And dance—dance is where I pour my soul.
Into practice. Into performance. Into learning, strength, humility.
Forever a student. Always listening.

This year tested my will, my strategy, my logistics, my faith in balance. But standing on the other side of it, my conviction is clearer than ever in the path I have chosen. I am deeply grateful for the teachers, mentors, champions, friends, and silent cheerleaders who steady me—sometimes without even knowing it.

Here’s to choosing the path.
To honoring the work.
To meeting the challenges.
And to dancing through it all. 🙏🏽

1.5 weeks! Please come, Chennai Rasikas.
Pumped to share the stage with some wonderful artists.

Officially 10. 🥰😍❤️🙏🏽

As I come up for air from practice, work, parenting and many life changes and pay some (much needed) attention to this space, the first thing that came to mind was abundant gratitude. These pictures should have been posted months ago but here we are.

My utmost gratitude to akka who has given me *so much* over the years. This particular margazhi performance from Dec 2024 at meant the world to me for many reasons. Through non stop practice, encouragement, and unwavering conviction that I had it in me to go beyond any boundaries I had set for myself, Priya akka kept me going. Patience, discipline and a strive for perfection were consistent themes and with that I remember feeling like I *left it all* on stage.

Add and ’s incredible, incredible support - I was moved.

So with that gratitude, here am I am back waving at social media. With much in store for this year, more to come…🙏🏽

Thrilled to perform at Kartik Fine Arts this season. Seeking the blessings of my gurus Smt. , Smt. and Smt. who have given me literally EVERYTHING that I am today with this artform. 🙏🏽

Performing some gems choreographed by Priya akka. Saturday, December 28th, at 5:30 PM. Please come, friends and rasikas. Performing in Chennai is magic…and I’d love to see you in the audience. :)
