I started my first steps in Kuchipudi dance at the age of 10 years under the training of Guru Smt. Kameswari garu at Ongole, AP.  I have learned intricacies of Kuchipudi dance  form from Guru Sri.K.V.Subrahmanyam garu, a disciple of Guru Dr.Vempati China Satyam garu.  I was well trained in Choreography, Nattuvangam & Ballets under the professional guidance of Dr. Vedantham Ramalinga Sastry garu, Principal Sidhendra Yogi Kala Pitham, Kuchipudi and Sri Yeleswarapu Srinivasulu.

I have passed Certificate, Diploma and Masters Degree in Kuchipudi dace from Sri Potti Sriramulu Telugu University in Distinction (Double Gold Medals in kuchipudi master degree). Professionally though I chose Software as my career option, my interest towards this art form made me to leave my job after 13 years of service and take up dance teaching as my profession.
