Hailing from the bustling heart of Silicon Valley, Gayathri is not only an emerging classical artist but also an ambitious entrepreneur with a keen eye for business. Growing up amid the startup culture and enterprising spirit of the Bay Area, her interest in business began to flourish at a young age.
At the tender age of 9, Gayathri ventured into the entrepreneurial realm by establishing her own Bollywood dance classes, a venture that thrived until the onset of the Covid pandemic. Undeterred by these challenges, she pivoted to offering Kathak classes and delved into the world of Indian Classical costume design in 2018. Taking the reins of creativity into her own hands, Gayathri designs costumes not only for herself but also for her dance academy, showcasing a blend of artistic expression and entrepreneurship.
Her journey in the realm of dance commenced at the age of 4, evolving to encompass training in North Indian classical art forms. The pinnacle of her artistic development came under the guidance of the esteemed Maestro Pandit Birju Maharaj in Kathak. Gayathri's performances have graced stages across the US and international locales, including Greece, Paris, Singapore, and India.
Fueled by a profound passion for dance, Gayathri has broadened her expertise to encompass a diverse array of dance forms, such as Hip-hop, Tap, and contemporary styles. Known for her distinctive approach, she seamlessly integrates these diverse forms, creating compositions and choreographies that showcase a unique fusion of tradition and modernity.
