Riti Sharma, disciple of Smt. Kalaichchelvi Uttayakumaran of the Narthana Aalayam School of Indian Dance, is having her Bharatanatyam Arangetram on the 13th of September, at the Dorothy Winstone Theatre (Auckland Girls Grammar School).
An Arangetram is a traditional Indian Dance graduation. It is the first solo public appearance by the dancer, when her guru believes that her disciple has reached the level of readiness to perform in the presence of critics, fellow artists, family and friends. This relentless pursuit for excellence requires commitment, discipline and several years of training.
Riti began learning the art of Bhartanatyam at the age of eight under the guidance of her guru Smt. Kalaichchelvi Uttayakumaran of the Narthana Aalayam School of Indian Dance. She is currently a Commerce student at the University of Auckland and is an ex- student of Botany Downs Secondary College.
Riti is extremely passionate about the art of Bharatanatyam. Her guru’s knowledge and spiritual guidance has influenced Riti’s progress in this divine art form. This is Smt. Kalaichchelvi’s 33rd Arangetram.
The music will be provided by accomplished artists who have been brought over from India for this occasion. Riti will be accompanied by Smt. Kalaichchelvi Uthayakumaran (Natuvangam), Arun Gopinath (Vocal), Shankar Venkatraman (Violin), Nagarajan Shanmugalingam (Mridhangam) and Ramesh Baswa Nagarajan (Flute).
