18 Performances in a year - 2020

I have finally completed 9 years at Natya Vriksha learning dance under Akka. It has been an

amazing journey and I am so happy to be part of the Natya Vriksha family. Natya Vriksha is

so peaceful and just being there gives me energy. I have made great friends and I am so

lucky to have such beautiful dancers and mentors as my seniors. Every time I come to class

I always learn something new. This year one of the bigger opportunities I got was to

engage myself in a little bit of teaching.
