1. Tell us more about your background and journey.

I am a post graduate student. I am a classical dancer and I love to dance and learned this skill during my school days since the age of 8.

2. When did you first decide you wanted to pursue dancing and how did you start?

I had this dance class in my school and this passion towards dance started after seeing my teacher performing her talent in the school annual day and this grew gradually by seeing my peers dancing.

3. Who is your favorite dancer and why?

Mrs. Shobana Chandrakumar and Mrs.Meena (my dance teacher) are my favorites. The latter taught me to dance and the former inspired me a lot with her expressions.

4. Can you throw some light on opportunities one gets as a dancer?

As a dancer, we get many opportunities starting from a school competition to a stage performance. But it is very important to use each and every stage as an opportunity and to exhibit the talent.

5. Is format training required or can one train themselves purely on the basis of talent?

On the basis of talent, one can learn to dance but to excel in a field, a formal and a proper training is required.

6. What piece of advice would you like to give to future and aspiring artists?

My suggestions to the artists out in the world are do not miss even a small space you get to showcase your talent. It might help you a lot. That small space or the stage can be the stepping stones for greater heights.

7. Which is your favorite book and why?

I prefer thriller novels and the recent one I read was the girl in room 105 by Chetan Bhagat.
