Young Bharatanatyam dancer Kum. Taanvee will present her Arangetram, marking her formal solo debut after years of training under Guru Priya Srinivasan, at the India International Centre in Lodhi Estate on September 20.
The afternoon recital, scheduled for 1 pm at the IIC Auditorium, will feature Taanvee in a traditional Bharatanatyam repertoire comprising Alarippu, Jatiswaram, the bhajan Maiya Mori, Dhanyasi Varnam E Maguva, Ananda Natanam Prakasham, the Javali Era Rara, Paras Tillana and Mangalam.
The performance will be presented in the presence of Chief Guest Manoj Tiwari. Guests of Honour include Geetanjali Sharma, Vice-Chairperson, NADA; former civil servant Amod Kanth; and former Member of Parliament Rakesh Sinha.
An Arangetram, regarded as a milestone in a Bharatanatyam dancer’s journey, signifies the culmination of years of intensive training and the readiness to perform independently before an audience. In the Guru-Shishya tradition, it marks the transition from student to performer while affirming a dancer’s grounding in technique, discipline and artistic expression.
A disciple of Guru Priya Srinivasan, Taanvee is a Doordarshan-graded Bharatanatyam artiste who has performed at cultural venues, diplomatic platforms and international stages. Alongside her dance practice, she holds a B.Tech in Information Technology and works as a cybersecurity engineer in the corporate sector.
