Aditi Balan Instagram – June 2008 I did my arangetram and 15 years later June 2023 I got back to doing a solo. There is absolutely nothing else in this world that has gotten me so happy, refreshed and alive. Of course it wasn’t easy at all. The body and mind had to work 10394739 times more now to be in the moment. An hour n half of rehearsals would completely drain me out physically and mentally but I had to keep it going. I am glad I could push myself. My guru Smt. SreeLatha Vinod is that one person I love, respect, look up to. She’s been in my life since the age of 5-6 and I will be eternally grateful to her for everything she’s taught me. Thank you akka. You are an inspiration. You and your entire family I will forever be indebted to. @anthara_cpa @sreelatha_vinoddance @athenamadhu There is so so much more I need to work on and I will try to do the best I can. I promise. Vishwajith , from that kutti boy monkeying around during poornachandrika to now singing for an entire dance show , you’ve grown so much and so beautifully. Thanks for saving my ass during rehearsals when I make mistakes. 🙈 A dance show wouldn’t be complete without the accompanying artistes. Thank you Veda anna , Sukanya akka for being there and playing for me. Thank you @maanasiarts for giving me this opportunity and the stage to perform. Thank you @theamethyststore for providing me that amazing odiyanam and bangles. I love everything in your store. Thank you @manish_ravie for patiently capturing the moments. It’s not easy to shoot a dance program and that too with out access to the front of the stage. 💛 My parents and brother have always been my support system. I love you all too much. Amma had tears watching me get back on stage after a long time. Thank you for constantly pushing me to do it. ❤️
