For most, dancing is just a natural way to express oneself, but for Shivani Parikh, it means almost a lifetime of dedication. Shivani was just 13 years old when she accomplished something most Indian Classical dancers don't accomplish until their late teens.
The classic cultural dance is known as "Bharatnatyam" and Shivani has been studying the intricacies of this dance since she was just 4 years old. Although the training was intense she has graduated and is happy to be able to represent her family and culture through such a huge accomplishment.
Watch Shivani perform this beautiful dance live in our studio, and find out what she plans to do with all those dancing skills!
