Last 4 weeks, I have been very fortunate to learn and seek blessings from 2 leading Kathak Gurus and maestros in India. Firstly, I got the opportunity to learn from Vidushi Shama Bhateji along with her Senior disciple Mrs. Ameera Patankar at the Kathak Retreat organized by Guru SISK-Shambhavi Dandekar Shambhavi tai and Meenal Chakradeo Meenal tai. Thank you so much Shambhavi tai and Meenal tai for this wonderful opportunity.

Secondly, I got the opportunity to learn from my Guru, Pandita Maneesha Satheji along with her senior disciple Mrs. Vallarie Apte at the annual Kathak retreat with my guru behens. This year was very special as my students and I got to seek blessings from Maneesha Tai (as we call her), on the auspicious occasion of Guru Poornima. Maneesha tai also conducted a week-long workshop for my students and taught them some new compositions along with the nuances and intricate details to improve their dance, posture and facial expressions. This was truly a very enriching and wonderful experience for PSK students. Thank you so much Maneesha Sathe Tai and Vallarie Apte for everything and we look forward to seeing you soon!!

Thank you Lasya Kathak Dance Academy Purvi Bhatt for teaching me this beautiful Ashtapadi. Thank you Indian Dance Educators Association for giving me this wonderful opportunity to perform in the Abhinay Series!!

With the blessings of my Gurus, I will be presenting a beautiful Ashtapadi choreographed by my guru Mrs. Purvi Bhatt Lasya Kathak Dance Academy at Gandhi Memorial Center on May 6th, 2023 in the Abhinay Salon Series presented by IDEA Indian Dance Educators Association. Please join me in exploring the Gita Govinda kaavya by the legendary poet and lyricist Jayadeva.

PSK students performed Lezim (Folk Dance from Maharashtra State) on the occasion of International Dance Day on April 29th, 2023 at American University, DC at the Lotus Gala event. Thank you Lasya Kathak Dance Academy Director Purvi Bhatt and Ms. Swara Bhatt for giving PSK students this wonderful opportunity to perform.
