Rangapravesha marks the first major milestone in a dancer’s journey. The planning, preparation, and performance on this day represents a significant chapter in my life.
Reflecting on my Rangapravesha still stirs a vivid array of emotions—the thrill, anxiety, and fulfillment of performing live with an exceptional music ensemble, and the varied moods of the exquisitely choreographed dances, are indescribable.
“RAGHAVA MADHAVA, a divine offering to Lord Vishnu” was my heartfelt tribute to Ma’am @shubharani.bolar for nurturing the dancer within me. Her unwavering dedication, interest, love, and faith kept me motivated despite challenges. The days of rigorous practice with her and witnessing her perform Abhinaya are the moments I miss most.
This event marked a promising start to my cherished dance journey, made possible by the steadfast support of my family and friends, for which I am profoundly grateful.
