Heartfelt Gratitude :

Dance has been one of the biggest constants in my life since I joined Balavihar class with Aunty Raj at the age of 5 where she taught me how to find the basic joy through creativity and movement. I started my stage 1 Bharatanatyam classes with Aunty Anu in 2007 and she has since assisted me in learning the graceful yet strong techniques of this dance whilst also helping me find the appreciation for my dance and culture. Thank you Aunty Anu for the never-ending support and encouragement during the past 16 years. The opportunity to learn under you has been a blessing. As well, I would like to thank Uncle Shankar for his guidance and for all of his intricate and beautiful choreography, it is an honour to be able to dance your items tonight. Thank you to Aunty Urmylla and Uncle Ganesh for your patience, guidance and joyful natures in theory class. To my Amma, Acha and to Vaishu Chechi, thank you for always encouraging my passion for dance. I would also like to extend my gratitude for the musicians tonight, you bring my dance to life and you do it so effortlessly.
