Hi! My name is Shreya Ashok. I am a high school student and an avid Indian classical dancer from New Jersey. Since age six, Bharatanatyam has consistently been a huge part of my life. I have been seasoned by many years of annual performances, competitions, and showcases. Learning this dance form has been a blessing: a way to discover myself and more about my culture and my roots, but it has also come with its fair share of challenges. Preparing for my Bharatanatyam Arangetram was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do; physically and mentally, it was a very demanding albeit rewarding process. Through this blog, I hope to share with you all some tips and tricks that helped me along the way and that I hope will help other dancers like myself, especially those working towards Arangetrams of their own. Hope this helps!
