SRIVIDHYA RAMAN-BHARATANATYAM DANCER
Naturally endowed and rigorously trained, Srividhya started learning Bharatanatyam since the tender age of 10. She is a Sr. disciple of Guru Saroja Vaidyanathan, who is an eminent dancer in the Pandanallur style of Bharatanatyam, a style hailing from the Tanjore district of TamilNadu. Eager and earnestly involved, Srividhya has evoked a consistent appreciation for this noble art and this is revealed in her strong rhythm, graceful movements and a diverse facility in the range of expressions. Well-executed rhythmic patterns, scintillating nritta and lively abhinaya always mark Srividhya’s performances.
