Learning Bharathanatyam at Natya Shikara is about so much more than just exercise. I have learnt discipline, how to express myself, and I’ve also formed a unique connection to my traditional Indian heritage which could have easily been lost in a sprawling city like Hong Kong. With every new step or dance I learn, I feel as though I learn a little more about myself. It is for these reasons that I am proud to call the people at Natya Shikara my second family.
