Kum. Aditi, Disciple of Akshara Bharadwaj | Rangapravesham | Teaser

Aditi joined dance class with me when she was four years old. From the get go, dance and grace was inherent in her. She could grasp the lessons, retain them and execute movements like a little perfectionist. After eight and a half years, she will be performing her Rangapravesha on 13th January- the first big milestone for a dancer who would like to embark on this journey professionally.

Daughter of Smt. Vaishali Shetty and Sri. Jagadish, Aditi is studying in 7th standard at RNS Vidyaniketan. She has performed at prestigious events such as Akhila Bharata Kannada Sahitya Sammelana- Haveri, Desi Dibbana organized by Akkana Mane Pratsishthana, Siddaganga Mutt Tumkur, Mukula Nrityotsava, Dance Jathre, Chinnara Kalarava and Shivoham, Natyotsava organized by Karnataka Rajya Makkala Sahitya Parishat, Aradhana Celebrations at Raghavendra Swamy Mutt, Young World School, Dance for India" organized by Bharat Book of Records, Navaratri Navotsava, Vijnana Vyjayanti, Prathama Hejje, Silver Jubliee celebrations, world dance day and annual day programs organised by SSFA.

Aditi was bestowed with the title of Natya Mayuri at Hosur Natyanjali. Her recitals have earned her first prizes at her school and first prizes for five consecutive years at the annual cultural event held by Bunt’s Sangha, spanning different age categories. She is also a distinction holder in Dance exams. She has been a student of yoga for dance under the guidance of Smt. Sinchana Pandit. Aditi actively volunteers in organizing all the activities of our institute.

Her deep interest, maturity, regularity and punctuality at such a young age fascinates me; she would insist on coming to class even on the days she had just returned from vacations. Her mother says that she, along with her twin Aarush, were enrolled into these classes at such a young age to just keep them busy and tire them out by night; but this was definately one of the best decisions, albeit an accident!

A warm welcome to you for Aditi's big day on 13th January at ADA Rangamandira, at 5pm.
