Some days carry a special kind of magic, and for me, Vijayadasami is one of them. It’s a day that reminds me to slow down and celebrate the gift of learning, the strength of tradition, and the way dance continues to keep me alive beyond the everyday. I carry deep gratitude for my teachers every single day, but today gives me a chance to pause and honour them a little more openly, for their wisdom, patience, and the love they’ve poured into me. #Vijayadasami #Gratitude #DanceJourney #NewBeginnings

Throwback to my time in the USA, where there were so many dance talks and moments that kept me inspired. This piece, 'Akhilandeshwari,' choreographed by my sister, holds a special place in my heart. As we celebrate the final day of Navaratri, I’m filled with gratitude for all the energy and inspiration the goddess brings. Tomorrow is Vijayadasami, and I can’t wait for new beginnings and more dance! 🙏💃" Chreography: @srithinadance #NavaratriThrowback #Akhilandeshwari #VijayadasamiVibes #DeviDance #culture #bharatanatyamdancers #berlincity #berliner #artandculture #SisterChoreography #Bharatanatyam #StrengthThroughDance #indianclassicalmusic #classicalmusic #dancelife #NewBeginnings #lavanyadances #chreography❤️ #indianclassicaldance #culture #berlindance #navarathri2024 #dancer

This weekend was everything I didn’t know I needed. dance, stories, laughter, and that soul-deep joy that only comes from being surrounded by the right people. Exploring Krishna Nee Begane with @shru_gpl akka felt so special. Akka, the way you guide with such simplicity and warmth, giving us space to find ourselves in the dance, it’s something I’ll always hold close. And all of you beautiful peeps..every single one of you brought your own magic. It wasn’t just about the steps or the music; it was about those little moments that felt like lessons, connections, and memories all wrapped together. Dance has this beautiful way of opening up the heart, and this weekend, it reminded me why it’s my forever love. #GratefulHeart #Bharatanatyam #KrishnaNeeBegane #WeekendWellSpent #throwback #dancer #berlin #lavanyadances #indianclassicaldance #love

This time last year, I was working on bringing Sharira by @vaibhavdance to Berlin in June, something I stepped into quite independently, with a lot of heart and a firm push from dear @deepikapotdar to just take that leap and make it happen. What has stayed with me most since then is the journey of it all ,the process, the learning, the small leaps of faith, and everything it took to hold something like that together. That experience quietly became a stepping stone. In my own small way, I’m just trying to do what I can , to create a space for this art form here, away from home, and to keep it open, shared, and accessible to those who want to experience it. This June, I’m continuing that journey with Thaaratu by @shru_gpl now as part of my larger project Classical Moves, Contemporary Voice, which has received funding through Durchstarten and the Berlin Senate. It feels very special and much needed to be one of the 18 projects of thousands. A lot of this journey is still very personal and hands-on building things from the ground up, learning as I go but it comes from a place of deep love and belief. It would mean so much to have you there for Thaaratu. To witness, to support, and to help this grow into something that can hold many more such moments in Berlin. And also… come watch Shruti in her element Ticket link in bio, early bird sales ends this week, please do get your tickets asap !❤️🙏🏽 📷:@gautami__rathod
