Dance instills joyous energy throughout  me. I was very lucky to complete the program and it is something that will always stick with me. It is an art that not many people experience and I am proud to be a participant of this academy. Dance also taught me how to never give up on anything and keep on going. This meant the world to me.

Bharatanatyam has been a part of my life for many years, and it is a way for me to convey emotion, fervor, and the joy of practicing and performing rewards me with. Dancing gave me an opportunity to understand and value my culture in many unique ways. From the beginning of my journey of learning to dance for the first time to completing my Arangetram and becoming a company dancer, I have learned discipline, passion, and the knowledge of my perseverance in Bharatanatyam, resulting in something that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Bharatanatyam holds a special place in my heart as it is not merely a dance form but an embodiment of my cultural heritage. It instills discipline, patience, and dedication within me, constantly pushing me to strive for perfection and growth. It connects me to my roots, providing a sense of identity, pride, and a deep appreciation for the rich traditions and artistry of India. I’m proud to be apart of Sainrithya Dance Academy, and I’m excited to continue dancing in the future.

I’ve been dancing since such a young age, my passion for it has done nothing but grow. I have found a comfort in dancing, as well as the family I have formed because of it. Dancing is a way I am able to express my emotions and tell a story. I love being able to immerse myself completely in this beautiful form of art, and I am so glad I am able to share this culture to everyone around me.

Dance is a way of expressing myself in a unique way. It is a part of my identity and helps me connect to my religion and culture. Dance also teaches me about myself and is a part of who I am as a person.

In dance I can fully express myself with not only my moves but my expressions. Dancing is like dreaming with your feet. I love dance because it shows me expressing my cultural uniqueness and heritage as well as identity.

For me, dance is a way to embrace my culture and roots. I’ve been given so many opportunities to learn new stories and dances. The dance community has helped me meet amazing dancers and even better gurus.

Simren Kurella

To me, Bharatanatyam is not only a form of art but it’s also a way of expression. Whether it’s on or off the stage, dance has taught me that persistent hard work and dedication towards something that I am passionate about will be rewarding because of the experiences and relationships created. The feeling of dancing on a stage with my closest friends and for people who not only appreciate the art form but also cherish is truly unmatched. Dance will forever be momentous in my life because of these things and for that I will be forever grateful.

Overall I would like to end by saying that to me dance is not only an activity but a lifestyle.

Bharatanatyam is an extraordinary experience to connect with my roots, and definitely something to take pride in. I am extremely thankful to have been given the opportunity to learn bharatanatyam from the most authentic source out there. The feeling of performance, the rush of dancing in front of an audience with stage lights glaring down, or even dancing in front of family and friends is unmatched.

The hush that falls right before the music plays and that sense of unity dancing alongside my peers has become almost a second nature. That is unquestionably a part of my motivation to continue learning and practicing bharatanatyam for me. The satisfaction after a good performance is a tremendous reward for all the hours put in. You truly get more than you give.
