Achievements and performances
-
After 9 years of dedication in dance, Janani performed her Arangetram under the wings of Smt. Guru. Meera Ganapathy Dhanu.
What does Arangetram mean?
It literally means ascending the stage in debut. It marks the completion of the initial training of the student and her blossoming into an accomplished dancer. An Arangetram is the expression of the dancer's creative potential.
At the same time Arangetram is not the last step in Bharatanatyam but the beginning of a journey to realize the true and entire meaning of the traditional dance form. On this auspicious occasion, the artist presents her art with great devotion seeking the blessings of her Gurus and the divine dancer 'Lord Nataraja'.
