Sana P Chipalkatti, a disciple of renowned Kathak Dancer Simran Godhwani from Krshala Dance Theatre will be presenting her Kathak Rangapravesh on Sunday, 23rd April 2023 at 5:30 at Bangalore International Centre, Domlur, Bangalore.
Sana and dance had little in common. As with any kid of that age, she would enjoy a few body-twisting movements to chirpy, playful music. Nothing more. Well, at least, until we visited Krshala Dance Theater. One may ask why Krshala, the unanimous answer in those early days - it is the nearest dance school to our house! It was in 2012. We, with a hesitant Sana, met Guru Simran to enroll her in a dance class. Sana, still 4 years old, had to wait for a year to start her formal Kathak training. In the early days, Sana enjoyed creative dance forms and performed in curated events across Bangalore. Within the next year, she started training for Prarambhik Kathak, and in 11 years, Sana has been fortunate to be a part of many solo and team performances in India, and around the world including Dubai and Greece. Sana has become an ardent student of Krshala.
Krshala continues to provide her and many other students – with an ecosystem that encourages multifaceted development. Guru Simran not only passed on the rich heritage of Lucknow Gharana style of Kathak but also provided unconditional support to Sana in her competitive swimming pursuits. Blessed with multiple awards and recognition, Sana has reached another milestone in her Kathak journey - Rangapravesh. The Rangapravesh marks her entry into Krshala Dance Theatre’s professional dance repertory, which travels around the globe performing in various festivals and events. She will do this as she aims for a fulfilling career in veterinary medicine. That is Sana - an animal lover, a swimmer, a determined student, and a passionate Kathak dancer.
This is a free event and all are welcome to experience this young budding dancer transcend from being an adolescent to an artist, being just a dancer to a performer.
