With God’s grace and the blessings of my parents and gurus, Abhinaya Tharangini Academy presented three Rangapraveshams this summer.

The first Rangapravesham was presented by Aditi Polsani on July 19, 2026. She gave an outstanding performance that was both powerful and deeply expressive. Her remarkable stamina and endurance shone through, while the delicate emotional and facial nuances in each dance added real depth to her presentation. Watching her perform made both me and her parents incredibly proud.

Aditi holds a Senior Certificate in Kuchipudi Dance from SAMPADA. She is currently pursuing Diploma in Kuchipudi Dance from Aria University. She is also a freshman at James Madison University, pursuing Undergraduate degree in Finance. Loads of blessings to her!

Sharing few glimpses!

Still floating on cloud nine after dancing Kuchipudi on July 5th at Carnegie Hall in New York! 💫

Abhinaya Tharangini team had the great privilege of presenting Kuchipudi at the All Indian Dance Festival 2026, alongside respected dance gurus and their teams in other dance styles of India. Curated by Viji Rao of Three Aksha, it was our great honor to perform on one of the world’s most prestigious stages, where iconic musicians, jazz greats, and cultural legends have stood before us.

To my dear students, families, organizers, and well-wishers, thank you for believing in this journey and for all the practice hours, behind-the-scenes work, travel, and support that made this dream a reality. We will cherish the memories we created inside Carnegie Hall and on the streets of New York with our amazing dancers forever.

Feeling ecstatic, grateful, and inspired to keep taking Kuchipudi to new spaces and audiences.

Abhinaya Tharangini Academy students had an amazing opportunity to attend, "Embodying Abhinaya”, an exquisite workshop presented by my Guru and Chair of the Kuchipudi Department at Aria University, Dr. Yashoda Thakore, here in Virginia this past weekend. The workshop captivated us with her mastery of the subtle nuances and intricacies of abhinaya, that is rarely taught and can only emerge from internalized feeling. Yashoda Akkayya’s demonstration of abhinaya through the eyes, with minimal reliance on hastas, was especially striking and brought a profound realism to the performance. My students, along with many others from local DMV dance schools, were truly mesmerized as they learned to embody abhinaya through a Javali and a Padam, gaining unique insights into the expressive art form of Kuchipudi dance.

Sincere thanks to Chinmayee @ Kalamandapam for initiating, hosting, and graciously including us in this wonderful workshop.
