Over last twenty years I have been taking systematic training from my Guru Padmashree Roshanji. I am propagating Jaipur dance style in Thane and Kalyan. With this aim I have founded Nrityadhara Kathak Research Institute. I have performed solo Kathak at various places in India like NCPA- Mumbai, Kathak Kendra- Delhi, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Lucknow, Kolkatta when my Guru received “Surabh Award” and Mahua Gujrat when my Guru received “Hanumant Award” etc were the major occasions. And along with my students performed at various other parts of India and major dance festivals in US, Korea, China, Combodia and Mauritius. Also presented dances based on novel concepts but always careful about not to cross the boundaries of tradition. My experiments in Tribhangima, in which I have presented artistic combination of three dance styles, and Jugalbandi of kathak and lawani won accolades. Also worked as an assistant choreographer for renowned director Shyam Bengal's film Saradari Begum. Founded Nritydhara which conducts different types of activities for promotion of Kathak and music arts of India, by conducting lectures, demonstrations, workshops and performances of senior and experienced artists. Nrityadhara also organizes programs of young and upcoming artists.
