“A Bharatanatyam recital is structured like a temple: the outer hall of alarippu, the half-way hall of jatiswaram, the great hall of sabdam, and the varnam which gives the dancer the opportunity to fulfill themselves...”
— T. Balasaraswati
For as long as she can remember, Devna has found joy in classical Indian dance. What started as small, curious steps from the age of just 5 years old, over years of practice and discipline, her talent and passion has blossomed into such a big journey for this beautiful dance form at now 14 years old.
Her Arangetram is the display of that journey — her first major solo performance and dance graduation, and an evening of storytelling, rhythm, and expression she can't wait to share with the people she loves.
Devna trains under Guru Radhika Unnithan at Nrityam Dance Academy.
