What attracted Dr Suma Sreeshyla to Indian classical dance was: the intricate hand gestures, the rhythmic foot work and the power of storytelling through movements. However, the thing that resonated with her most about this art is the connection to centuries of culture and history, which is something she feels every time she dances. She has trained in two different dance forms: Bhartanatyam and Kathak, under the guidance of various gurus, having experienced a breadth of different styles and interpretations of these styles. Suma is the Artistic Director for the Asian Cultural Club, which sees her writing, directing and performing musicals, which depict stories from Hindu mythology within contemporary context. Additionally, she runs a dance school, on the island, called Shree Dance Academy.
