About the Artist
Stuti is a Bharatanatyam artist based in Ottawa. She has received rigorous training in Bharatanatyam since age 5 and earned her Diploma in Bharatnatyam from Kalamandalam Performing Arts and Research Centre, Kolkata, in 2005.

Stuti also received training from Dr. Apoorva Jayaraman’s Study room course and the Kalakshetra Foundation, Chennai. She has studied Kuchipudi, another primary Indian classical art form, and Nattuvangam, an art of rhythmic recitation to accompany dancers in Bharatanatyam by the eminent nattuvanar Shri. R.LV Hemanth Lakshman.
Stuti owns a dance school – Kalagriha School of Performing Arts in Kanata. She teaches beginner, intermediate, and advanced dance lessons to kids, youth and adults of the South-Asian community in Ottawa.
The best part is the inquisitiveness: the brightness that I see in the students' eyes, when they get something, when they understand the expressions, when they understand the footwork, when they are completely wowed by how beautiful this art form is.
