She then came under rigorous dance training and tutelage of a reputable Guru, Smt. Meera Veenugopal, one of the foremost disciples of the legendary, The world-renowned Dhananjayans of Bharata Kalanjali.
Feeling blessed to be in the family of Bharata Kalanjali, Shela learnt many important guidelines in Bharatanatyam and realized the importance of Abhinaya (Expression) in dance performance for the first time. Also with Bharata Kalanjali, Shela has given several dance recitals and received appreciations. Currently Shela is a Teacher in Bharata Kalanjalli Malaysia.
Shela believes that generosity and devotion of a Guru in sharing all their knowledge with disciples with no hesitation, leaves the Gurus at a superior place in a disciple’s heart. As appreciation, it gives a special resilience to the disciple to bring up the best in them.
It always been her dream to learn more and to experience the joy of doing something creative and establishes an identity as an artist.
With all these years of involvement in this beautiful art, Shela believe it's her duty to pass it on...
