A lifelong dancer, now teaching the next generation
I fell in love with dance as a child, and have trained in Kathak for 16 years. I hold a Visharad in Kathak and follow the Banaras Gharana tradition. Alongside my classical training, I have spent over a decade immersed in Bollywood-style dance, bringing the same discipline and joy to my own students.
My choreography blends classical and contemporary styles, honoring the depth of tradition while creating movement that feels vibrant and current. What began as informal practice sessions with a small group of friends has grown into a full academy, performing across San Diego at cultural festivals, community celebrations, and dance competitions.
My goal has never been to just teach steps — it's to build confidence, discipline, and a genuine love for the art form in every dancer who walks through our door, from four-year-olds taking their first class to adults rediscovering a passion they left behind.
