Bharatanatyam Arangetram Highlights of Monali Das Biswas, disciple of Smt. Priya Raju

This Arangetram is not just another dance performance—it's a dream come true for me. As an adult, I faced many unique challenges - juggling a full-time job, motherhood, responsibilities, sore muscles, and moments of real doubt, often wondering if I could reach my goal. However, stepping on the stage on September 12, 2026, felt like coming home to a part of myself. This highlight video captures just a glimpse of a journey that took years of dedication, love, and sweat. First and foremost, I bow to Lord Nataraja and my Guru Smt. Priya Raju. Thank you for your patience and guidance. You taught me resilience, humility, and what it truly means to listen to the rhythm. To my wonderful musicians—thank you for breathing life into the stage. Dancing to your live music was a gift I will treasure forever. To my partner, Nagu Daraboina and parents: thank you for your unwavering support, for tolerating my endless practice hours, and for helping me through my emotions. I am sharing my video to tell everyone; passion has no expiration date, and your dreams are always worth reclaiming. Please take a look at some of my favorite moments from the big day! #arangetram #bharatanatyam #classicaldance #indianclassicaldance #danceperformance #hightlight #KripalayaDanceAcademy CREDITS: Choreography, Nattuvangam & jathi Composition: Guru Smt Priya Raju (Kripalaya Dance Academy) Vocal: Sri Rajesh Malyankandi Mrdangam: K S Sudhaman Violin: Ramachandran Sivakumar Flute: Sri S.Kumar Babu Makeup: Namera Newaz Costumes: Shanti Dance Needs, Chennai Lights and Sound: Owasso Schools - Mary Glass Performing Arts Center Videography: Daniel Murphee Films
