Sheetal Menon

Sheetal Menon, academically has finished her Bachelors Degree in Science from the Mumbai University, India. Her passion for dance from early childhood has made her blossom into a graceful dancer and has proved herself many times at festivals like 'Malhar' and not once but thrice at the University level festivals and has done proud to her guru (The Teacher - Mrs. Rajeshwari Damania) and her parents.

She has been professionally trained in athletics and has won various awards at the State level. She has been learning and practicing Bharatnatyam since 19 years. And not only on Nritta (pure dance), but she has amazing command on her Nritya (facial expression) that creates Rasa in all the Rasik (the audience) whom she entertains. She completed her Arangetram in 2002. ('Arang' is stage and 'Atram' is entry - The first entry on the stage of the disciple artist and an occasion for giving a grateful gift to the Kalaguru is Arangetram. It marks the completion of the dance training and blossoming of the dance into a full-fledged art exponent.)

Besides dance, Sheetal has the gifted ability of creating the most artistic designs of Henna (Mehndi). She is also a regular follower of Hatha Yoga. She has been conducting training classes in Dance, Henna and Yoga for various batches of students since three years. She also performs Henna designing in private parties, for weddings and other occasions.

And if all of the above fails to impress you, I think you should still meet her once and try some of the Indian delicacies she makes. Hmmmm !!!
