Teacher – Divya Shreejit Kumar

Divya started learning Bharatanatyam at age five and has practised and performed the art form for well over 25 years. A notable feature of Divya’s performances is her “abhinaya” (expressive technique) that captivates the audience and makes one feel as if they were not merely watching a dance but actually perceiving life unfold before them. Divya looks to inspire and spread this love for her art by making it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
