Dear dancers, Happy New year to you all!

I wanted to connect Janani Ramachandran with our Seattle Natyam educators. I am sure I am missing quite a bit of the teachers here in this mail. Please do add them as I don't seem to have their email ids. 

Janani just moved to Seattle and has been looking to connect with dancers here. She is a disciple of Priya Murle akka back in Chennai. 

Janani, we have quite a range of dancers who are disciples of great artists back in India from various banis. 

Welcome to the group and please feel free to give us more background on your training and dance journey.

Thank you, 

Vidya

Thank for the introduction Vidya!

What a joy to welcome more artists to the already thriving community here! We have so many new folks, I think it's time to have a coffee session!!!

@Janani - Once upon a time, this was a regular feature. But then there were just 8 to 12 of us and coordinating schedules was easy.

Perhaps a MeetUp scheduling tool might help. Also, please let me know how I can be of help.

Thanks

Thank you for such a sweet introduction, Vidya akka!❤

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for the warm welcome and happy new year! 

It's great to connect here with such a diverse group of dance educators. Moving to Seattle, one of the things I really yearned for was a sense of the dance camaraderie. I hope to connect, collaborate, and watch all of you and/or your students perform at some point in the near future. Here's a little bit about me:

I'm originally from Dallas, TX and moved here after getting married. I've been dancing Bharatanatyam for the last 23 years and can't think of a better avenue to connect not only with our culture but with the Divine. A big dancing goal for me this year is to find avenues to perform not just traditional margams but also engage in group collaborations, direct a few concept pieces, and get to know this wonderful community. 

Professionally, I work as a Curriculum Manager for Google on their Trust & Safety team. I have a penchant for learning and building learning materials as my background is science and education. I've helped a few schools and nonprofits in Dallas build their websites and student portals, so if you'd like to digitally expand into the eLearning space for your dance institutions, I'm your gal!

Always happy to grab a coffee or a small bite and talk about all things dance/education. Hope to meet you all real soon~ feel free to message me!

Warm Regards,

Janani

Dear Janani,

This is Priya Murali from Dallas. I used to live in Seattle for over a decade before I finally landed in Dallas a couple years ago. Still a Seattle-ite by heart and I keep visiting often to meet my peeps there. 

It’s good to hear from you. Welcome to Seattle! While the sun and warmth were perennial forces for you in Dallas, I’m sure the Seattle art community will welcome  you with abundant warmth and showers of love. 😁  

On that sunny note, happy Makara Sankranthi to you and all the dancers in this group! 🌞 

Love,

Priya
