🪔 About
Moneesha Kamani is a Bharatanatyam dance artist and teacher with extensive training under several esteemed gurus. She holds a graduating diploma in Bharatanatyam. Her formal training commenced under the tutelage of the legendary Smt. Uma Devi Dutt and Smt. V. Gayatri Devi in Besant Nagar, Chennai, both senior disciples of Padma Bhushan Smt. Rukmini Devi Arundale, the founder of Kalakshetra. Subsequently, she received post-graduate training from the world-renowned Guru Padma Shri Adyar K. Lakshman in Chennai, India, who further refined her dance technique and taught her nattuvangum. Additionally, guidance from Smt. C. Ramaswamy and Smt. A. Dongre helped her master advanced abhinaya and complex expression-based sequences. Kamani has been performing Bharatanatyam for over fifteen years at various venues, including full margams and workshops, particularly in the tri-state area of the United States. She shares her passion for the art form by providing premier dance education, focusing on strong concepts of talam, lyam, and dance theory, at professional dance studios in downtown Jersey City and Clifton, New Jersey. She has also served as a judge for dance competitions, including the global Swaminarayan Talent and the Indian American Festival dance competitions.
