It has been a month since Aswika stepped on stage for her Arangetram. As her guru, watching her shine on stage with confidence, grace, strength and such beautiful expressions was an incredibly proud and an emotional moment for me. Her performance reflected years of dedication, discipline and love she has poured into her dance. These pictures speak volumes about the beautiful performer she has blossomed into.
