Each style offers a unique narrative, a canvas for me to express cultural richness through movement. My choreographies are a fusion, a celebration of diversity on stage. Mixing Boduberu's heartbeat with hip-hop's rhythm and Bollywood's vivacity, I aim to create performances that transcend borders, inviting audiences into a world of cultural amalgamation. Teaching isn't just about steps; it's about immersing others in the emotions and stories woven into each movement.
