✨ Red Carpet & Bharatanatyam ✨

What a beautiful and memorable evening at the San Diego International Kids’ Film Festival 2026!

Today, the red carpet came alive with the grace, rhythm, and storytelling of Bharatanatyam, as our talented young dancers Sana Arun, and Pranaya Somraj proudly represented Indian classical dance.

It was truly special to see these young artists bring the beauty of our tradition to an international platform, sharing Bharatanatyam with a diverse audience and celebrating the power of culture, art, and storytelling.

So proud of their dedication, confidence, and beautiful performance! Watching them step onto the red carpet and then onto the stage was a moment to cherish.

A heartfelt thank you to the San Diego International Kids’ Film Festival for creating a wonderful space where children, films, music, dance, and cultures from around the world come together. The 2026 festival was held August 21–23, with the Red Carpet Star Show on August 23 at MiraCosta Concert Hall.

Dance is devotion, art is life.

Grateful to AIKYAM for inviting Naad Studios to be part of the vibrant Menifee Multicultural Festival!

Events like these beautifully bring communities together through culture, music, dance, food, and shared traditions. It was truly heartwarming to see families, children, artists, and local organizations celebrating the richness of diversity and heritage as one community.

Looking forward to many more opportunities to celebrate unity through art and culture together! ✨

To all the incredible mothers who have been the backbone of Non-Stop Girls, we want to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You’ve been there at every rehearsal, every costume change, every late-night run to find the perfect accessory. Your quiet sacrifices, your cheers from the wings, and your endless love have helped us shine on every stage. We couldn’t have done this journey without you—you are the heart of our success.

Sana Arun, student of Naad Studios, was fortunate to be part of Enchantment—a beautifully crafted bioplay presented by the Indian Fine Arts Academy of San Diego.

Enchantment is a unique production that blends drama, music, and dance to trace the extraordinary journey of sitar maestro and Bharat Ratna awardee Pandit Ravi Shankar through four defining stages of his life. This immersive storytelling experience brings together multiple art forms to celebrate his legacy in a deeply evocative way.

The production was helmed by renowned artist Gowri Ramnarayan, who led the play’s direction, design, and overall vision under a JustUs Repertory production. The musical composition featured the works of Pandit Ravi Shankar himself, with powerful vocal contributions from Bombay Jayashri, Aditya Prakash, Vignesh Ishwar, and Chaitra Sairam, along with technical support by Sneha Sheejith.

The cast featured talented performers including Yohan Chacko, Aarabhi Veeraraghavan, and dancer Bhavya Kumaran, making it a rich collaborative effort across disciplines.

Presented on March 26 (Thursday), from 8:30–10:00 PM, the production was supported by organizations such as Creative West, reflecting its artistic significance and community impact.

For Sana Arun, being part of such a prestigious and meaningful production was truly a special milestone—an opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to a performance that celebrates one of India’s greatest musical legends. Naad Studios celebrates her achievement and the enriching experience of being part of such an inspiring artistic journey.
