Bharatham or also known as Bharathanatyam is an indian classical dance. I have been learning it from the age of 14. I initially entered my current dance school for fun. My neighbors enrolled long ago and i decided to just try it. I will stop if i don't like. After a few months i really loved it. Something which i do with passion. Dancing keeps me happy.
