18 Performances in a year
I have finally completed 9 years at Natya Vriksha learning dance under Akka. It has been an amazing journey and I am so happy to be part of the Natya Vriksha family. Natya Vriksha is so peaceful and just being there gives me energy. I have made great friends and I am so lucky to have such beautiful dancers and mentors as my seniors. Every time I come to class I always learn something new. This year one of the bigger opportunities I got was to engage myself in a little bit of teaching.
