ABOUT ME

Welcome to the world of Akshiptika, a realm where movement, rhythm, and melody converge to create a mesmerizing tapestry of dance and music. Derived from the Saam Veda, “Akshiptika” represents more than just a name; it encapsulates the essence of composition, blending words, swaras (musical notes), and taal (rhythm) into a condensed alapana that swiftly establishes the identity of a Raga.

My passion for dance was ignited at a young age, deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of India. With six years of rigorous training in Kathak, I have immersed myself in the intricate footwork, expressive gestures, and captivating rhythms of the Jaipur gharana style, under the guidance of the esteemed Late Pradeep Maharaj Ji.

Raised in a musically enriched environment, I absorbed the nuances of melody from my mother, a dedicated music lecturer, whose Masters in Music studies during pregnancy shaped my early affinity for the arts. My father, a music connoisseur and business visionary, instilled in me the balance between creativity and pragmatism.

As an artist and educator, my journey began at a young age, choreographing diverse performances blending Bollywood flair with semi-classical styles. Today, standing at the intersection of tradition and innovation, my mission is to share the beauty of art with the world. Through retreats, dance classes, and vocal workshops, I invite you to join me in this transformative journey of self-expression and discovery. Let’s create magic together, one beat, one step, one melody at a time. Welcome to the world of Akshiptika.
