The Dancer
At the age of seven, motivated by her mother Saroja Kamakshi, Malavika Sarukkai began her studies in dance. Training under Guru Kalyanasundaram of the Tanjavur School and Guru Rajaratnam of the Vazhuvoor School. She also studied Abhinaya with Guru Kalanidhi Narayanan and the Odissi dance style with Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra and Guru Ramani Jena.
What began as a young girl’s maiden performance when she was twelve has become, over time, a surge of performances both in India and abroad. Her deep conviction and faith in the power of dance and the ability to engage her audiences, has enabled her to successfully take this classical style to diverse audiences across the world.
