The journey so far…

Hithaishy Dhanan, whose journey of dance began at the delicate age of four, believed in a faith.
A strong faith that dance defines her Past. Present and Future.

A faith that is nurtured not just by her talent but also her audience and critics.

Hithaishy is a promising Bharathanatyam and Kuchipudi danseuse. She had the good fortune of learning under the guidance of the great exponents: Guru Smt.Choodamani Rao and Guru Smt.Radha Sridhar (Bharathanatyam), Smt. Gopika Verma(Abhinaya), Smt.Vyjayanthi Kashi and Kalaimamani Smt.Uma Muralikrishna (Kuchipudi).

Hithaishy’s focus, passion and perspective has helped her learn much, in very less time. After her graduation in Architecture, she proceeded to successfully complete Post Graduation Diploma in Choreography at the Natya Institute of Kathak and Choreography, under the able guidance of Dr.Maya Rao. She has even secured a Gold Medal, for her outstanding performance in the Masters Degree of Performing Arts (Bangalore University). Her talent has been recognized and felicitated by ‘The Aryabhatta Cultural Club’ and ‘Rangasurabhi’, ‘Bharatashree’ Award from B.Nagaraj, Hubli and recently was awarded ‘Nrithyajyothi’ by Naveen Kalakar,Bhubaneshwar.She’s also a graded artist with National Broadcast(Doordarshan).

After her arrangetram at the age of 7, there was no looking back. The prolific dancer has performed in more than 350 shows and festivals spread across the country and outside, at places like Mysore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Cuttack, Dharmasthala, Shravanabelgola, Ananthpur and UAE.

Some of the prestigious festivals where she performed are:

Hithaishy is a versatile artist, her talent is not limited to just dance but also engulfs acting and theatre. She is a known personality of  television shows. Her skills are well acclaimed in Krishna nee begane bar | Bisilu | Kudere Sangeetha laheri | and Jagruthi. She has also been a part of Sanskrit plays such as Ramayana and Kukudruma.

Hithaishy is a part time architect, an effortless artist and a born danseuse, but her soul feels specially elated when she shares her knowledge with students at

Hithanrithya Institute of Performing Arts: her humble dance school.
