Sowmiya Ramkarthik

Outreach and Events Coordinator

I love being a part of the Kaladhaara family and I teach an adult Adavu class.

I really enjoy seeing new students learn and grow. This also gives me an opportunity to continue practicing Bharatanatyam.

Raji Viswanathan

Body conditioning coach

I have been learning dance from a very young age. Dance gives me a good workout, freedom from mundane life, inner peace and sense of satisfaction.

I am lucky to be part of Kaladhara faculty, teaching the foundational class to the students. I am also a student at the school and I am enjoying learning and teaching this beautiful form of dance.

Anuradha Sukumaran

Digital Marketing and Administrative Manager

I joined Kaladhaara in 2011 and have been rejoicing working with Mathura and the team for over a decade now. At Kaladhaara, I teach advanced level students and also work as digital marketing manager handling Kaladhaara's social media accounts. I also lead the SacAdavu group initiative.

I work as a full time Systems Engineer and enjoy playing with my three boys. I am grateful for the opportunity to pass down the art form to the next gen in this community. Bharatanatyam is a mind space for me to let my inner self transcend to a dimension beyond the physical realm!

Charanya Ramaswamy

Facilities/Rehearsal Coordinator

I am very thankful to my parents for having introduced me to this dance form as a child. Even with a few breaks in between, I found my way back to dancing when I joined Kaladhaara a few years back.

At Kaladhaara, I enjoy teaching beginner and intermediate level students and this keeps me accountable for my practices and progress as well. I love learning, performing, watching and this is my biggest stress buster! I work full time as a Hardware Engineer and enjoy being outdoors hiking or biking with my kids.

Aarthi Krishnamurthy

Music has been a constant in my life, be it learning or performing from a young age and I am so grateful to Kaladhaara for giving me an opportunity to be in touch with music more through teaching Bhajans.

The enthusiasm of the kids keeps me motivated each week. I look forward to each class as it gives me a chance to unwind, destress and be present.

Vatsalya Narayan

Technical Coordinator

As a faculty member at Kaladhaara, I've grown in so many different ways. Being in high school I enjoy teaching kids as it allows me to better communicate and understand nuances of learning and choreography. I currently am an Adavu batch teacher and help manage foundational concepts. I have been with Kaladhaara since it's starting and was recently initiated as a teacher into its wonderful faculty team!

Aishwarya

Instructor

My love for dance was ignited by a performance that I watched when I was 9yrs old. Ever since that my love for the art has only been growing.Thanks to the Raghuvamsa flyer that put me in touch with Kaladhaara and brought me back into the world of dance. Im grateful to be associated with Mathura and Kaladhaara. I teach beginner classes. Working with the kids gives me immense pleasure and the satisfaction of passing down this art form to the next gen.

Mayura

Instructor

Dance has been a part of my life from a young age. It gives me great joy and I cannot imagine a time when I am not learning, practicing or being a Rasika of dance. I was very fortunate to have been introduced to Bharatanatyam at the age of four. I trained under several gurus and completed my arangetrem under the guidance of Guru Kalamamani K J Sarasa.

I joined Kaladhaara in 2016 in the production of Raghuvamsa and have recently begun teaching in beginner classes. I love being part of this community and doing my part in passing on this beautiful art form to next generations.
