She has always had a passion for dance\, and s tarted taking ballet and bharathanatyam lessons when she was 5 years old. S oon\, under the tutelage of both Padmashri Adyar K. Lakshman and Srimathi S udha Srinivasan\, she completed her arangetram when she was 10 years old\, and began performing in India yearly during the December music festivals in Chennai.\nOnce she joined Stanford University for undergrad\, she decided to explore her more American side. She joined Common Origins\, a non-compet itive choreography dance team as well as Alliance Streetdance\, an audition exhibition dance team. She also co-founded XTRM Kpop Fusion\, Stanford’s first and only kpop fusion dance team.\nAfter college\, Maheetha continued to train by taking classes from Mike Da Genius\, Rob Bynes\, Tarikh Campbe ll\, and others in the industry. In New York\, she competed with Project D Dance Company\, and won second place at Elements 2018 and first place at De fining Rhythm.\nWhen she came to Boston\, Maheetha desired to create a spac e like many of the ones she saw in New York\, where Indian Americans could explore their body through movement while raising awareness about South Ind ian culture and music. She started teaching dance workshops with KuthuHop\, a dance org that aims to combine Kuthu with many different western-inspire d styles. Till this date\, Kuthuhop has taught around 20 workshops since it s inception in 2018. While medical school and residency have made it hard f or Maheetha to be able to commit time to Kuthuhop\, she loves taking every moment she gets to dance and choreograph. Outside of KuthuHop\, Maheetha is a part of the medicine tiktok community.\nRecently\, Maheetha was also a p art of Watchlist Dance Company\, and performed at Legends in April of 2022. She also taught a workshop with ChiTempo in Chicago. She’s really excite d to teach at Rangeela Dance Company in Seattle!\n\nMeet Ahalya:\nAhalya st arted dancing as a child\, learning the fun and popular Bollywood dance mov es at the time. This love for dance continued to grow and ultimately culmin ated in joining a competitive dance team in college. Ahalya led the Univers ity of Pennsylvania’s garba-raas team as choreography chair in her junior year\, and as captain in her senior year. Like most dancers\, she loves ch oreographing and performing\, but the one thing she loves most is teaching. Her favorite part about garba-raas is the contagious energy\, and how powe rful the moves are. She has 4+ years of experience in choreography\, 2+ yea rs of experience teaching\, and has been to several collegiate competitions in both the Raas circuit and Fusion circuit (as a guest dancer on Penn Dha maka). Ahalya spends much of her free time at dance classes learning other styles like hip-hop\, Bollywood\, and South Indian.\n \nPlease note: no re funds are accepted for this workshop LOCATION:Flow Fitness SLU\, 311 Terry Ave N\, Seattle\, WA\, US URL:https://rangeeladancecompany.com/dance-classes/rdc-x-kuthuhop-dance-wor kshop-seattle-wa-2026-04-23-2/ X-COST:$20.00 - $27.00 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
