Bharatanatyam: Indian Classical Dance Style

Below are three glimpses from my Arangetram, where I performed solo for 2.5 hours to culminate my dance education
Mangalam: "Endaaro Mahanubhavulu" (Salutations To All The Great Ones)
The finale after two hours of dance, I pay homage to my dance lineage. Incorporating multimedia visuals into this dance, I bow my head to the dance studio's legacy, my teacher (the guru), the orchestra, and the audience.
Chitra Natyam
Dedicated to preserving this slowly dying dance form, I draw a lotus with my feet, praising the Hindu Goddess of Wealth, Lakshmi, whose symbol is the lotus. 
Kalinga Nardana Thilana
In this fast-paced dance, less traditional styles are incorporated, from Bollywood to contemporary to bhangra (folk style from North India), creating a fusion feel while still remaining classical.
