In order to make the long seven-year preparation towards this Arangetram, Poorvi, Hemu, and Sachi studied under the guiding expertise of Ms. Asha Gopal from the Arathi School of India Dances. This Arangetram was one of the first graduations where three students would take the stage simultaneously and represented the nearly 100th student to have graduated from Ms. Gopal’s tutelage. Ms. Gopal is highly regarded with many a recognition for her contribution to the community and her efforts of sustaining a valuable cultural heritage that is being carried into the future.
