I am Prathiba, a first year computer science student of VIT Chennai, and I have learnt Bharatanatyam under the guidance of Guru Smt. Meenakshi Chitharanjan for almost 11 years now. I was part of the Ekam performance at Nardha Gana Sabha and also performed at Bharati Vidhya Bhavan in Kilpauk. I have also given multiple group performances at Shri Parathasarathy Swami Sabha over the years. I have been interested in this dance form from a young age and will always continue to do so.
