Dance with your heart and your feet will follow!
The Rasika School of Dance presented its first trio Arangetram to a very unique margam.
Ashmita,Adithri and Gargi have silently worked this past year to present their Bharatanatyam Arangetram with dedication, grace and respect.They were pushed in ways they could never imagine only to realize their growth and potential and the confidence that rose from within!
As the curtains drew and the lights came on they found themselves embracing the beauty of Bharatanatyam,years of training and the joy of expressing themselves on stage!
We want to thank Meraki For You for the stunning stage decor and Kishan Patel Society for Indian Music and Arts - Harrisburg for your beautiful contribution towards the presentation of the abhang🙏🏽
Priya Iyer …your emceeing took this event to another level!!
A special mention to my back stage crew…Priyanka Nambiar,Shivani Venkatesh ,Ameya Rangaswamy and Nitya Nandakesh for running it like clockwork!
