I teach Kuchipudi dance and have been training students for the past 6 years. I work with students of different age groups and levels—beginners, intermediate, and advanced. My aim is to help each learner develop a strong foundation in Kuchipudi while nurturing their confidence and stage presence.

I hold a Diploma in Kuchipudi dance and have undergone years of rigorous training under experienced gurus. Alongside, I have completed my Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree, which helps me bring a balanced, structured approach to my teaching.

In my classes, I focus on building clarity in basic steps, hand movements (mudras), rhythm (talam), and expressions (abhinaya). I also teach theory where needed and guide students to understand the deeper meaning of each piece they learn.

I offer both online and offline classes, depending on the student’s location and convenience. My sessions are interactive, and I make sure to give personal attention to every student’s progress. I maintain lesson plans and ensure consistency in practice.

Students preparing for exams or stage performances are given additional guidance. I have experience helping students get ready for Kuchipudi certification exams and public programs. I also choreograph items suitable for cultural events and competitions.

Whether someone is learning for hobby or pursuing dance seriously, I create a comfortable space where they can grow and express themselves through dance. I encourage regular practice and guide students on how to improve their technique over time.

My goal is to help every student enjoy the journey of learning Kuchipudi while staying connected to the roots of Indian classical dance. I believe classical dance instills discipline, grace, and confidence that stays for life.
