Dreams through Dance...

Ketaki says, she wants to express herself and communicate her message through other mediums as well. Her vision is to take the priceless legacy of dance forward in as many ways as possible.

Dance, A way of Life

For Ketaki, dance is a way of life, a tool of expression, and food for the soul.

Ketaki has learned dance from a tender age and is acquainted with its intricate beauty and craftsmanship. Dance is at the core of her life and she wants to stretch herself to achieve higher goals in it.

Purpose of being into dance

Everything in the universe has a purpose. Every action, every interaction, every decision is driven by a purpose.

In her own words, Ketaki says, ” I have been fortunate to find my purpose- dance. I have been ‘one’ with Dancing!

Today, when I see my students performing my concepts and choreography on stage and winning awards and accolades, I feel elated and contended. More than I am about my own achievements. It gives me a sense of creation and giving back my little bit to society.

This is my own journey towards ‘Bliss’ and ‘Realization’ and I hope it continues forever through myself and the torch bearers of Naadanam …”
