I am so very excited to be performing in Malaysia next month on the 10th and 11th (September, 2013). I just received a copy of my first interview in a Malaysian paper.

Architecturally it is among the most beautiful temples I have seen, but I think that can be said of a very […]

Ive added this space to my website as a means of expression of my experiences as and when I perform, choreograph or get involved in a project. My journey as a professional dancer is just about a year old and already people had opened their arms and hearts to me.
