<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sindhuja is
a passionate practitioner of dance with a dedicated and disciplined approach
towards the art form. Though she initially started with Bharatanatyam and having
completed her Arangretram at a young age and hailed as a proficient performer,
she found Kuchipudi her calling and continues to understand the subtleties and
depths of that form. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She received
initial training from Smt Madhavi, Smt Padma Kalyan and Sri Vedantam Raghava
and since 2005 is under the guidance of Dr. Yashoda Thakore. </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lauded
for her grace, expressiveness and sense of rhythm, she believes in a holistic
approach towards the dance. Sindhuja composes dance for compositions included
in repertoire (both solo and group presentational styles) aspiring to achieve a
unique style, drawing inspiration from the readings/texts and other dances that
she watches</span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sindhuja
commenced performing at a tender age of 8 and has been majorly a solo performer
ever since, playing roles in ballets and group performances along with her
teachers ensemble occasionally. She has performed internationally at the USA,
China, London, Fiji and Cook Islands. And in India, at various prestigious venues
like the Tanjore temple, Konark temple, Chennai, Mysore, Mumbai, Tirumala,
Vijayawada, Kuchipudi to name a few apart from a host of events in her home
town, Hyderabad. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Though she
commenced teaching dance in 2011, Sindhuja established SINJINI SCHOOL OF ARTS
(Regd) in 2016 and trains enthusiasts in both dance and music. A strong
grounding in practical and theoretical aspects benefits her in driving
concepts, making it engrossing, coherent and comprehensive to the students. Her
students are trained to be informed performers and are pushing their little
steps towards the performance arena.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I
restarted the journey during my graduation days and was part of duo / group
local performances in Kuchipudi and folk dance under Radha Madhava Rasaranjani
– Guntur, Nagarjuna University, Silicon Andhra International Convention –
Hyderabad Guinness Book of World Record. Guru Khaleel emphasis on strict
regimen and learned items with a view to take up Certificate exams which I
couldn’t since, I relocated to Bangalore on employment assignment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My
dance journey took a break once again and even though I joined one of the top
most corporate, there was emptiness and I very badly missed my dance. So, again
I started searching for a Kuchipudi teacher to suit my work schedule and desire
to perform solo as against the more of duo / group performances I had given at
Guntur.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

search ended when I met Guru Sudha Sridhar, Bangalore and under her tutelage for
the past two years in the Nartana Academy of Performing Arts, I started
learning various nuances of Kuchipudi dance, abinaya, understanding concepts of
dance, expressions for each mudra, feminine aspects of dance, etc., and
graduated to that of a solo performer learning various choreography of legends
including that of Guru Padmabhushan Vempati Chinna Satyam and performed at
various prestigious festivals. Through
the Academy I got good exposure and also awarded ‘Nritya Mani’ at Cuttack
Festival in 2015 and title ‘Nartana Manoharini’ from the Academy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">As
part of complete grooming under Guru Sudha Sridhar, I attended workshops
organized by the Academy, learned about the Sastras, Kuchipudi history, make
up, attained skills to become a good performer, academician, set and pursue
goals, thematic presentations with other dance forms (Odissi & Kathak), and
got groomed on various aspects. I got trained in Bangalore and I completed
certificate course in Kuchipudi in 2016 from Guntur. Three years of rigorous
training at Bangalore enabled me to achieve my dream of performing with my
Guntur Guru’s team as senior in the Silicon Andhra 2017 program and I don’t
want to have any more breaks from dance and would also like to teach the art
form to children in future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN"><span style="font-family: inherit;">D-for dance D-for divinity that is what
dance is for me. My introduction to dance started at age of six. Born and
brought up in a metropolitan city like Mumbai distractions were too much. For
children especially it was mostly inclination towards Bollywood dance and
music. But influenced by my parents penchant for classical art forms I
naturally took it from a very young age. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My introduction to classical dance form
was Kathak which I learnt from Guru Shri. Rajkumar disciple of the Kathak legend
Pandit Birju Maharaj. Being a south Indian my parents and I were keen on my
learning Bharatnatyam and luckily I was introduced to Guru Smt. Shalini Sethuram
a Bharatnatyam dancer par excellence from Kalakshetra. It is she who made my
basics of dance rock solid and I am ever indebted to her. Later on under Guru
Vasantha and Guru Subbalaxmi also from Kalakshetra, I had the privilege of
performing my Arangetram at the age of 16 as well as take up the Karnataka Board
examinations for dance till Vidwat. Alongside I had completed certificate
course in Carnatic music too<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Had a sabbatical from dance on account
of post graduation, work and marriage but the fire deep inside the heart to
learn dance did not die. At this juncture I came across Nartana Academy of
Performing Arts and Guru Smt. Sudha Sridhar. Meeting her was God‘s will, I
suppose. She changed my perception towards dance completely. I being a Bharatnatyam
dancer was a bit apprehensive as to the ability to learn Kuchipudi a fast paced
classical form. Smt. Sudha Sridhar who is not only a great teacher but a very
good human being instilled confidence and I appreciate her patience, perseverance
and her ability to bring out the best in her students and mould them as performers
and academicians. Under her tutelage I had the opportunity to perform at various
festivals in various plances. I had the opportunity to attend dance and music
workshops organised by the Academy which were very useful in learning the
minute concepts & dimension of Kuchipudi dance. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I truly believe in this wonderful Quote by Martha
Graham. Dance is beyond physical exercise or a hobby. Dance is a culmination of
body, mind and soul. One can express different emotions of happiness, love,
peace, surprise, laughter, etc through dance. Dance gives me an opportunity to
connect with likeminded people, preserve and promote the traditional dance
forms for the generations to come. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">At the age of 6, I was introduced to Kuchipudi dance
by my grandfather Shri Pasumarthy Krishnamurthy, who carefully watched and
perfected every step of mine. This very foundation has stood strong and gave me
a platform to explore and experience the dance form to its fullest degree. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

accomplished Mridangam artist and a senior staff at Sri Siddhendra Yogi

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Haranadh besides being a
prolific Mridangam artist also can play other percussion instruments such as Tabla
and Kanjira with the same felicity and with ease.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">What's So Special with Haranadh? <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Haranadh believes that
rhythm is an essential and integral part of any music. Predominance of the soft
and simple sarvalaghus to sweeten music, their logical development into astonishing varieties and
tirmanas and the clarity of strokes in fast play formed fascinating traits in Haranadh
artistry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Compared to the double
headed Mridangam with its rich tonal quality, the single headed Kanjira with
its limited tonal quality is more difficult to handle but Haranadh equaled in
duet. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I have started
using the Hoop as part of weigh lost program in 2013. I got inspired by various
Hoop weight loss activities in YouTube. Practicing myself from starting point,
to atleast to stand by the hoop, slowly learned step by step Hooping. I have
noticed, many weight loss programs are depend up on the western Music and
Hooping according to the Music. That is the first Idea, I ever think about to
replace the western Music with Indian Classical Music. From then it increased
my passion more to Dance. Thanks to Hoop.</span></span><br />

Vempati Nageswari
at the age of 4. Even at this early age she gave several solo performances. She
continued her training from age 7 with Natyacharya Hemadri Chidambara
Dikshitulu who wrote a book on Kuchipudi called “Kalasagaram” in 1989. He was
so impressed with Usha that he featured her in his book in Rajahmundry. During
this time, film director K. Vasu saw her performance in a dance competition and
offered her the lead dancer role in the popular Telugu devotional movie “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfT8w5v8KSY">Ayyappa Swamy Mahatyam</a>”.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">Sneha </span>Sasikumar<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"> is a young talented
artist, in the classical dance form of Kuchipudi, with a performing career
spanning over 10 years. She is in her fourth semester, Masters in Performing
Arts, at the University of Hyderabad. Presently she is a member at </span><b style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">International
Dance Council (CID) at UNESCO </b><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">(Register No. 16996) and can offer </span><b style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">International
certification of Dance Studies</b><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"> to her students. She is also an associate
member of ADTA (American Dance Therapy Association) which help individuals with
a wide range of psychological disorders achieve greater self expression. She
has assisted her Guru (Anupama Mohan) as a tutor, in many of the </span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">National</span><b style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"> </b><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">kuchipudi</span><b style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"> </b><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">workshops </span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">(
Natyabhivrudhi workshops 2009,2010,2011,2012) in which she gave intensive
training for more than 500 students so far. She was also a </span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">Jury</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"> for many dance competitions held

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She is deeply interested in Kuchipudi focussing on creativity and
innovation. She is also pursuing Post Graduation in Sanskrit, as distant
education, as her focus is to bring in the interdisciplinary aspects of Dance
and Sanskrit Literature. Presently, she is working on a dance piece which
essays the various acts in the famous play ‘Swapnavasavadatham’ written by the
ancient Indian poet Bhasa. The intricacies and the combination and permutation
of “adavus” ,she feels, can showcase the varied aspects of the work in its true
sense. Unlike other classical dance forms not much experimentation has occurred
in Kuchipudi. In this project she tries to bring in the power of the play
through the prowess technique of Kuchipudi. She has performed over a hundred
stages in India and abroad. Besides she has also given lecture demonstrations
and art appreciation programmes at various places. Her recent mini thesis is on
the descriptions of dance in Kalidasa’s Vikramorvaseeyam which has been
presented and highly appreciated in Akhila Karnataka Kuchpudi Nritholsav,
Bangalore 2015.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;">Later on she developed a flair for Kuchipudi and discovered that
Kuchipudi was her forte. Her thirst for advanced training in Kuchipudi was
