Our next student spotlight is on Rohan! 🙌🏽 Rohan has been learning at Kritya for the past 4 years, and his journey is a powerful reminder that passion is not defined by when you start, but by how deeply you commit. ✨

Currently a student at the Medical College of Georgia, Rohan continues to balance the demands of medical school with his dedication to dance, bringing the same level of commitment to both paths. His ability to retain choreography with ease and perform with clarity has made him a valued part of the Kritya community.

We are excited that he will be joining us for Synesthesia in Chicago! We are grateful to be a part of his journey. 🤗

And our very own will take the stage at Synesthesia! 🤩💛

Yamini will present a solo rooted in Bhama Kalapam, one of the foundational masterpieces of the Kuchipudi tradition. Through live singing, spoken expression, gesture, and storytelling, she will bring audiences into the emotional world of Satyabhama, where pride, longing, wit, devotion, and love unfold through music and movement.

We are constantly inspired by Yamini’s artistry and the way she brings dance, music, theatre, and emotion into conversation. We can’t wait to see what she brings to the stage!

And introducing our next guest artist at Synesthesia - Laya Raghav! 🤩

A vocalist, violinist, and Bharatanatyam dancer, Laya brings a deeply thoughtful relationship to music, movement, and storytelling. Trained in both Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam, she approaches each art form not in isolation, but in conversation with the other. Her work is shaped by musical sensitivity, emotional depth, and a growing interest in how instrumental music itself can tell stories.

We’re so looking forward to sharing her artistry with you on June 21 at Visceral Dance Center. Tickets available at the link in our bio! 🎟️

🥁 Next in the student spotlight series is Sayanthana!

From the first steps in our virtual classrooms to the grand stage of the Khajuraho Dance Festival, Sayanthana Mohan’s journey is nothing short of inspiring.
Since joining the Kritya family in 2022, we have watched Sayanthana become a graceful and dedicated dancer. At just 12 years old, she is the only Goan student selected for the prestigious Cultural Talent Search Scholarship (CCRT) for 2025-2026! 🏆

While we are so sad she won’t be able to join us for the Synesthesia Showcase in Chicago, we are incredibly proud of everything she has achieved and truly wish she could be there with us!
