" Dance" is ingrained in me, because I percieve it, as a medium of expression and experience it as a healing power and a mode of meditation.."  --- Krishnaveni.

Krishnaveni holds a Diploma in Kuchipudi Dance from Telugu University, Hyderabad and has been bestowed by Natya Mayuri and Mahila Ratna awards for her enchanting performances. She is a member of IDEA ( Indian Dance Educators Association [http://www.ideadancers.org ]) in metro Washington DC area of USA and is an active performer in the Dance festivals by IDEA such as,  "Living Dance-Festival of India", "Silver screen" - Celebrating 100 yrs of Indian Cinema through Classical dance, " Nourish Our Roots" - IDEA 20th Anniversary Dance festival, " An Evening of Indian Dance", " Panorama of Indian Dance", along with other local music and dance festivals in Virginia. She has been invited by local TV network GTV in the Women's
